A set of THIRTEEN books dated 1860-1888.
The oldest book in this stack is 162 years old, the newest 134 years old!
They are rare and collectible, hardcover editions, with wonderful, marbleized, covers. Each one is stunning in its own right and together they make an incredible impact.
The patina is outstanding, they are "aged to perfection" and will give you an instant "old library" effect.

These books have yellowed pages, with "age spots".
Most importantly they have that "old book smell" reminiscent of libraries and bookshops from a by-gone era - fabulously comforting.
If you choose to line them up (like a normal library shelf) then you need a space 18cms/ 7" high x 30cms/ 11¾" long and 12cms/ 4¾" deep.
They weigh 3.6kgs/ 8 lbs altogether.
We offer FREE worldwide shipping.
Your purchase will be carefully packaged and shipped from France. It will be fully tracked, signed for and insured.
