William Shakespeare - Complete Works - Antique Series - Leather Bound

Handcrafted Leather Rebound: William Shakespeare's Complete Works

Part of the Antique Series by Loxley Books, this rebound edition is crafted to evoke the timeless beauty of centuries-old books. The leather binding has been carefully treated to replicate the natural patina that develops over time, giving it the character and charm of a well-aged heirloom. The covers feature hand-marbled papers, creating a classic half-binding design reminiscent of traditional antique books. This combination of rich leather and historic marbling techniques ensures both a vintage aesthetic and enduring quality. This rebind features premium calf leather with an antiquing process that enhances the natural scuffs, scratches, and marks, giving it a beautifully aged and timeworn character. These variations are intentional and add to the vintage aesthetic. If you prefer a more pristine finish, my Classic Range offers a cleaner, unblemished look.

Features:

- Half leather - antique mahogany calf (this can alternatively be created in Black/Brown or Medium Brown)
- Hand-marbled paper (due to the limited availability of totally unique handmade paper, the design may
change, options for the paper will be sent for you to choose).
- Traditional raised spine bands
- Black gold tooled calf leather labels
- Hand tooling on spine
- Silk headbands and ribbon

The text block is Canterbury Classics Edition which has been chosen for its quality sewn signature binding.

Please Note:

- Natural leather may show slight marks and imperfections. However, this all adds to the unique character, and the book will age beautifully, over the years to come.
