The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde (Charles Carrington, 1905)

In a nod to Art Nouveau, this cover depicts glossy peacock feathers on black goatskin. Japanese paper inlays with yellow gold and aluminium highlights, gold tooled dots, doublures in distressed aluminium with yellow gold highlights, and silver leather endbands give the book a luxurious finish. This binding is part of the collection of furniture designer John Makepeace.
