We believe publishing itself should be a work of art. Our focus is beautiful, custom-designed new editions of unusual and important classics and specialty works for private clientele, companies and galleries. We also publish works of excellent literary merit, as the interest should occasion.
Our editorial director began in this field working with Book Arts, a legendary luxury printer in Washington DC founded by a family of Florentine ancestry and the go-to custom publisher for the White House, State Department, embassies and cultural institutions such as the State Hermitage Museum of Saint Petersburg. Our editorial advisor was editor-in-chief of one of Italy's preeminent international art magazines and is himself trained in the art of book binding. In Milan, we work with two long-established printers of excellent reputation.
- These books are produced using Milanese and Florentine traditions of quality, with original illustrations from our in-house artist who has had over a dozen solo international exhibitions to his name and is considered a leading authority on heraldry. Our covers are somber but attractive, normally a rich black cloth with gold lettering and cover image of Old Masters art; or a dark blue, red or forest green background with the same. The end-papers are custom designed and different in each series; the bindings are sewn, and are not glued.
