This is a stunning set of six antique French books in faded "Inky blue" tones.
These books have serious "shelf appeal" and will add some "French chic" to your shelves. A mixture of classic literature, religious texts and school study aides, their inky blue colours are both subtle and timelessly elegant.
The six books are all hard cover editions. They are distressed from years of genuine use, gently scuffed, their pages yellowed with age spots and edge discoloration. They have also gathered a few pencil marks and names inside the covers over the years. I've left them exactly as I found them because they're authentic.
The titles are:
"Enoch Arden" Alfred Lord Tennyson (1929 edition.)
"Fables" Phèdre (1896 edition.)
"Explication du Catéchisme a l'usage des Diocèses de France" M. Audollent et Chaoine Eug. Duplessy (1938 edition.)
"Siècle de Louis XIV par Voltaire" (1891 edition.)
"Les Latins, classe de première" CH. Georgin et H. Berthaut (1945 edition.)
"Hygiène, classe de troisième" E. Brucker (1931 edition.)
To display them altogether, in a bundle with twine, you will need a minimum space of 16cms/ 6¼" high x 20cms/ 8" long x 14cms/ 5½3 deep.
They weigh 2kgs/ 4.4lbs.
These books have that "old book smell" reminiscent of libraries and bookshops from a by-gone era - fabulously comforting.
