About The Original Book Works

For the last 17 years, we have been manufacturing our top quality faux book products by hand in Cirencester, Gloucestershire. Each product is hand crafted for the highest quality and designed to faithfully reproduce the appearance of leather bound books.

Moulds are carefully made of genuine old books. Then the products are cold cast, using a unique formula to give an exact reproduction.

Each timeless classic is hand painted, gilded and finished and is then given our seal of approval. In these days of growing globalisation, we feel more than ever, that the quality we provide being a UK manufacturer is second to none.

Products

We have expanded our ever-popular range of book accessories for the home and office. Already we have had excellent feedback on the new products, especially the Compact DVD Book Box, the Bookcase Safe and the gorgeous Luxury Photo Album, not to mention our statement piece Antler Candelabras.

The clean classical lines of our products look sensational in any setting from a modern house or office, to a stately home.

Faux Book Panels

We have expanded our range of traditional faux book panels and you can now have bespoke titles added to some of them and also a variety of products, like ledger boxes. Most products are available in five traditional colours: burnished tan (brown), antiqued red, faded green, imperial black and vellum (off white).

This year has seen the introduction of a very exciting first: our new paperback book panels. These are real books, which have been cut down and set into blocks. As normal, we will create panels by hand to fit your requirements exactly.

Bespoke Projects

We have enjoyed a variety of bespoke projects this year, reproducing and creating faux products in a variety of finishes from leather and wood to metals and horn. If you have something you would like reproduced or manufactured, please feel free to contact us to see what we can do.
