Description

A rare and decorative set of five 18th-century French leather books, dated 1777. Each volume is bound in rich leather with gilt raised bands and marbled endpapers, showcasing the craftsmanship and elegance of the period.

Although stamped London, 1777, many of these works were in fact clandestine French Enlightenment prints, with false imprints used to avoid censorship. This historical intrigue adds depth to their beauty, making them not only decorative objects but also remarkable cultural artifacts.

With natural wear from age, these books bring a sense of history and sophistication to any library, display, or interior styling project.

Size: 20 cm x 13 cm
Condition: Good antique condition with natural wear consistent with age
Provenance: France, 18th century
