BINDING - WILLIAM BURGES
Footnotes
A MAGNIFICENT HIGH VICTORIAN BINDING DESIGNED BY WILLIAM BURGES FOR LORD AND LADY RIPON. In 1871 Burges was commissioned by George Robinson, first marquess of Ripon, and his wife to design St. Mary's Church on their estate at Studley Royal, Yorkshire. He was responsible also for the design of the lavish interior decorations and furnishings, the work being completed in 1878. A series of designs for this binding are included in the William Burges album "Orfèvrerie domestique" in the RIBA library. The metal work, enamel and stone-setting was most probably executed by Jes Barkentin, a long-time collaborator of Burges. For another binding designed by Burges, with Barkentin metalwork, see the prayer book created for Sir Alexander James Beresford Beresford Hope, in the National Museum of Wales.
