FAQs

Book presses have been utilised for centuries in binderies and printing houses to flatten paper, press glued bindings, and copy documents before the advent of modern commercial printing machinery.

Traditional presses are typically constructed from dense hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or beech, featuring large wooden threaded screws and robust framework designed to withstand immense pressure.

Authentic pieces usually display hand-cut threads, traditional joinery such as dovetails or mortise and tenon, and natural patina, wear, and oxidation consistent with age and heavy workshop use.

This piece can be styled as a striking sculptural focal point in a home office or study, serving as a display surface or a nod to traditional craftsmanship.

Maintain the wood by keeping it away from direct heat sources and fluctuating humidity levels, and treat the surface periodically with traditional beeswax to nourish the finish.
