The Great Omar
Sangorski and Sutcliffe
Shepherds, London, 20th Century.

The original Sangorski and Sutcliffe binding of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam was lost on the Titanic in 1912.  A second copy of the binding took two years of continuous work to complete, using over 1,000 gems and 1500 separate pieces of leather.
