Antique, Duck Egg Blue, French Book Stack

This is a stunning set of five old French books in faded "light/duck egg blue/grey" tones. They are "aged to perfection", perfect for shabby chic displays and an "old library" effect.

They look lovely tied up with twine and displayed on a coffee table, sideboard, mantelpiece, bedside table or dresser. The covers have faded with time to subtle, dusky, soft shades and the pages are yellowed with age, with age spots. They make excellent film and photo props and would be ideal for a boho, or shabby chic, themed wedding as a table centerpiece decoration.

The five books are all distressed from years of genuine use, and some of the pages are delicate and loose:

The titles are:
"Precis de Thérapeutique et de Pharmacologie", A. Richaud (1908 edition.)
"Histoire Abrégée de L'Eglise, L'Abbe A. Boulenger (1930 edition.)
"Le Chevalier de Maison=Rouge", Tomes I and II, Alexandre Dumas (1922 editions)
"Les Mohicans de Paris" Tome II, Alexandre Dumas (1923 edition.)

They are all in excellent condition. The pages are fluffy and soft, time-worn and timeless, their pages are yellowed with age, with age spots. The spines have sustained some damage, but are all the more charming for it!
Most importantly they have that "old book smell" reminiscent of libraries and bookshops from a by-gone era - fabulously comforting.

To display them altogether, in a bundle tied with twine, you will need a minimum space of 13cms/ 5" high x 20cms/ 8" long x 14cms/ 5½" deep. Altogether they weigh 2.2kgs/ 4.8lbs.
