One of the most exceptional pieces crafted in our workshop, this book showcases intricate carving, unique modifications in our work techniques, and a substantial size that posed challenges during its creation. The symbol featured on the front cover is based on a customer's tattoo, making it a truly personalized masterpiece.
This leather-bound blank book measures 10 x 14 inches, and its front cover plate proudly displays the exquisite hand-carved symbol inspired by the customer's tattoo. The symbol is meticulously crafted from thick leather, carefully toned, treated with special bookbinder's mixtures, and adorned with gilding and aging techniques.
The cover plates feature gradient levels, layered applications, embossing, and carvings, all meticulously designed to create a truly unique book.
Crafted from thick leather and painstakingly hand-carved, the Lady of Pain symbol is hardened using a special bookbinder mixture before being gilded and aged to perfection. The intricate design achieves remarkable depth through the careful layering of multiple elements.
The book block contains high-quality 175 gsm heavy-weight blank marbled parchment paper produced by the renowned Italian company, Fedrigoni. This premium paper ensures that ink does not bleed through and offers an exceptionally smooth writing surface. The gilded and aged paper edges add to the book's authentic vintage look and feel.
The customer patiently awaited the completion of this book for several years, and we sincerely hope it was worth the wait.
