Nadezhda’s family trees can be viewed by the public at Croft Castle, a National Trust Property near Leominster in Herefordshire (www.nationaltrust.org.uk/croftcastle), and also at Caerhays Castle, near St Austell in Cornwall (www.caerhays.co.uk).
Nadezhda has also received numerous commissions from private clients who wish to commemorate and honour their family history by displaying their geneology in a specially bound book, or as framed wall art, which can then be bequeathed to following generations.
Family trees can either take the form of a wall-mounted, framed image, or a book. If choosing the form of a book, a professional bookbinder will be sourced for the commission.
Nadezhda can offer the exclusive skill of working on vellum (calf skin), and the application of 24 carat gold leaf, using traditional techniques to produce stunning calligraphy and artwork. You can also commission the painting and illumination of your family crest, either as a singular work of art, or to be incorporated into your family tree.
Please see the ‘Illuminations’ page for examples of traditional painting techniques, and gold leaf application.
