Laurel Burch was a self-taught artist and “flower child” who sold handmade jewelry on the streets of San Francisco in the 1960s. Later on, she continued to rely on her intuition and passion, speaking from the heart with an unmistakable style that was the manifestation of her love of life and strong imaginative nature. From her fertile imagination, she created brilliantly colored, vibrant and moving themes with paint and paper, exquisitely embellished with gold and silver.

Providing a fascinating glimpse into the creative process of French textile design, these book covers draw inspiration from a striking pattern featuring elements from the natural world. Intricate, lush foliage and flowers were hand painted or block printed on paper to create this master pattern dating from the 1860s, which would have been used to create a template for the mass production of the fabric. With a timeless elegance, the muted beauty of this floral design brings to mind the stylish refinement of a 19th-century drawing room.

Capturing the flavor of Renaissance-style binding at its zenith, these handsomely embellished journals are a delight for the hand and the eye. During this remarkable period of classical revival, manuscripts were renowned for their exquisitely crafted covers made of fine Moroccan leather, hand tooled in gold with delicate foliage patterns. Brought to Europe via the flourishing trade routes to the Far and Middle East, this style of ornamentation lent a new vibrancy and lightness of design that was not present in medieval manuscripts. The timeless beauty of these antique books is brought into the present with our finely wrought binding reproductions.

Ah, the rose. The flower most storied and maligned. Our rose garden covers are inspired by miniature lacquer paintings that adorned fine books in 16th-century Persia. The originals were celebrations of the luxury and refinement of Persian life and culture. In regal presentations such as glowing rose, the rose takes her rightful place as the focal point surrounded by her ladies-in-waiting: poppies, carnations, dogwood and tulips. In contrast, Wild Rose is a modest and stylized depiction of her beauty, subtly enhanced by the play of light and shadow. Holly Rose is still another incarnation of the queen of flowers. The delicate red ribbons and symmetrical borders surround the simple beauty of the central bloom and call to mind a spirit of celebration and tradition.

Every lover of fashion knows the lavish possibilities skill, time and infinite care are the key ingredients in the ancient craft of gold work. Traditional embroidery is elevated to the highest pinnacle of ornamentation by the use of gold, silver or copper threads. Our Stitched Splendour series recreates an 18th-century Spanish gold work-on-leather book cover. For the original binding, embroidery was created by couching, a painstaking technique that involves affixing metallic threads onto the surface with nearly invisible silk stitches. Gold work is a perfect example of how the decorative arts can transform practical objects into masterpieces that transcend the categories of form and function. Developed in Asia more than two thousand years ago, gold work reached its full flowering in the middle ages, when a style called Opus Anglicanum was used to create church vestments and hangings. Today, stitchers skilled enough to do gold work are rare indeed, and the craft is reserved almost exclusively for important vestments for clergy and royalty. We urge you to house your thoughts and dreams between the resplendent walls of Stitched Splendour.

Conjuring the magical sense of an autumnal orchestra, these covers are based on the work of Henri Francois Victor Marius Michel (1846-1925), who, along with his father, Jean Michel (1821-1890), founded the 20th-century French school of binding. Marius Michel’s genius involved using curved stamps to create exotic foliage and flowers. His great and lasting insight was that the decoration of the book’s cover should relate to its contents. Everything from the choice of skins, silks and papers, to his ability to coax miracles from string and cardboard, made Marius Michel an inspiration to all who came after. Our Cadenza cover, so named for its evocation of a lively eddying of leaves before the winter sets in, reproduces a binding created in 1907. The original was in green crushed levant morocco and inlaid with leather in ten colors. The inspiration for our Allegro cover was red crushed levant morocco adorned with different colored leathers and botanical patterns.
