Bespoke & Traditional

For many years, we have advised and assisted customers who have come to us with their requirements for civic or official insignia, such as chains and badges of office, or for hand written and illuminated scrolls, or indeed for any of a number of other ceremonial products.

This department of Shaw's also includes the design and printing of bespoke registers and record books, either based on existing styles or tailor-made to the customer's requirements.

Following on from this is Shaw's renowned specialist binding service. Using traditional techniques and materials, high-quality binding and re-binding of minutes, registers and other documents is accomplished by expert craftmen.

The products shown on this website are a representative sample of the range we offer, but in most cases customers will have their own particular requirements and they are not limited only to the styles illustrated here.

Whenever the need arises, you can feel confident in discussing matters with our experts, who will give whatever assistance or guidance is necessary, including help with design and advice on protocol. We maintain extensive records and have access to much reference material. You may have firm ideas about what you require, but even if this is not the case, you can rely on us to transform your sketchiest thoughts into beautiful artefacts.

Our customers include many state and local authorities, learned societies and institutions, livery companies, universities, colleges, clubs and other organisations in many countries of the world. The variety of work we undertake is part of its fascination and our artists and craftsmen are all dedicated to providing customers with products of the highest standard.
