BOOKS . LIKE YOU ’ VE NEVER SEEN THEM BEFORE .
The Original Book Works have been hand crafting beautiful faux books for over 30 years .
Based in the heart of the Cotswolds , the company painstakingly reproduces real antique book spines using a special moulding process that leaves the original book intact and undamaged . They are then cast in a secret resin formula before being hand-painted and gilded by their expert artisan painters for a truly antique look , indistinguishable from the real thing .
These faux books have been a designer ’ s secret weapon for decades , helping to add grandeur and sophistication to any space , with an infinite selection of colour and styles . Faux books enable designers to fit full libraries without reducing floor area as well as pulling off impossible feats such as curved walls filled with books and horizontal bookcases on ceilings . All lighter , more affordable and much more convenient than real books .
The Original Book Works first introduced real paperback and hardback options to their catalogue over ten years ago , allowing their customers to create a seamless style for more contemporary rooms along with secret doors hidden in bookcases filled with modern books .
These faux book panels are more than just a decorative piece ; they are a work of art . With meticulous attention to detail , the artisans in the Original Book Works workshop ensure that each panel exudes character and authenticity . The intricate designs and carefully chosen colour palettes of our panels create a rich and unique visual experience .
OBW ’ s recently developed Technicolour faux books used by Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen at The Dial House Hotel in the Cotswolds .
