Gold tooling

overview

This is the finishing ornament applied to fine, leather bound books, typically dating from the 18th, 19th and early 20th century though some sources date the beginning of the technique as early as 1256 A.D.  Application of this type of decoration ranges from very simple to shamelessly elaborate. Our facility occupies the middle ground.
