Our Workshop provides the following services:
- Regular hand bookbinding with cloth and leather covers

- Repair and restoration of books and documents
- Leather binding repairs
- Cloth binding repairs
- Paper repairs to books and documents
- Treatment of deteriorating leather
- Gilding, decorative hand tooling and embossing of books and leather items
- Encapsulation of fragile documents
- Photographic albums
- Leather writing desks re-leathered and tooled
- Leather-covered boxes restored, e.g. carriage clock boxes
Please feel free to contact us to discuss your requirements. We operate from our workshop at our private residence, in Roseville, Sydney. It is necessary, therefore, to make an appointment with us prior to your visit.
In addition to our bookbinding and restoration activities, we have had manufactured for us, to our own specifications, an archival, conservation - standard, synthetic adhesive. This is used in all our Workshop work where a synthetic adhesive is required. Requested by others, we have made this adhesive available to everyone, through our Australian distributor.
