Five Antique & Vintage French Decorative Books – Leather & Cloth Bound – France - FB13

An elegant collection of five authentic French books dating from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, selected for their beautiful decorative bindings and timeless French character.


This attractive assortment features a wonderful combination of leather and cloth bindings with gilt titles, marbled paper boards and rich colours including deep green, burgundy, brown and plum. Together they create a sophisticated display that would look equally at home in a French Provincial interior, country house, library, study or boutique.


Included are works by notable French and European authors including François-René de Chateaubriand, Henri Le Roux, Alphonse de Lamartine, Victoria Cross and R. Star, offering both literary interest and decorative appeal.


The collection includes an especially early volume of Génie du Christianisme by Chateaubriand, displaying honest age-related wear that reflects its considerable history and antique charm.


Whether displayed standing together on a bookshelf or styled on a coffee table, these authentic French books instantly add warmth, history and character to any interior.

Included Titles

  • Génie du Christianisme – Chateaubriand
  • Prisonniers Marocains – H. Le Roux
  • Extraits – Lamartine
  • Anna Lombard – Victoria Cross
  • Les Campagnes de Miss Fleurance – R. Star

Condition

Presented in overall good antique and vintage decorative condition.

The books display attractively with expected age-related wear, including rubbing, fading, foxing, edge wear and marks consistent with age. The Chateaubriand volume has noticeable wear and loss to the spine and board edges, while the remaining books are generally in sound decorative condition with attractive gilt titles and bindings.

Please study the photographs carefully as they form part of the description.
