Frontispress

Made to order

Bookmarks worth keeping longer than the book.

Milled brass, book-matched walnut, and veg-tanned leather — cut, finished, and engraved by hand in small batches. Nothing here is printed on cardstock.

The craft

One material, honestly

No plating, no veneer, no filler. Brass is brass all the way through, so it wears rather than chips.

Cut for the book

Thin enough not to crack a paperback spine, weighted enough to stay where you left it.

Engraved to order

Initials, a date, a line worth keeping. Set at the bench, not queued through a template.
