The Original Book Works began in 1992 with a mission to bring the beauty of antiquity to the masses in new and interesting ways. We make faithful reproductions of antique books from our own collection, develop them into a handmade, functional form, cast them in resin and hand paint for a truly stunning finish.
We also make our hand painted faux book panels which have been extensively used for film and TV productions, by interior designers and hospitality developers and, of course, for many, many secret doors.
Today we remain a family run company and for the last 32 years have sold our items worldwide. We manufacture our top quality faux book products from start to finish in The Cotswolds, near the Market Town of Cirencester, UK. Each timeless classic is hand painted, gilded and finished and then given our seal of approval.
