Antique Set of Two Lady Jackson Books - Full Leather Navy with Gilt Gold

Enhance your moody library or Dark Academia aesthetic with this exquisite pair of uniformly bound 19th-century antique books in English. Featuring striking deep navy blue full-leather bindings, these volumes are elegantly accented with a central gilt Fleur-de-lis on the boards and richly gilt-tooled spines with contrasting crimson leather labels. Opening the covers reveals beautifully intricate marbled endpapers and delicate engraved frontispiece portraits. Published in London by Richard Bentley and Son, this bespoke decorative set brings together two distinct historical works by Catherine Charlotte, Lady Jackson: Volume I of "The Court of the Tuileries" (1883) and Volume II of "The Court of France" (1886). The books remain in good antique condition, displaying a warm, authentic patina with expected minor rubbing to the hinges and spine ends that only adds to their historic character.

VINTAGE & ANTIQUE
Vintage and antique items are pre-owned and aged goods. In most cases, we do not clean or polish any items that come into our shop. Once you remove an item's traces of age and patina it's not something you can reverse, so we leave those activities up to the buyer. We do not disassemble found art from their frames unless it is necessary to differentiate a print from an original piece of art. Vintage prints purchased from this shop could originate from any print media (e.g., magazines, books, photographs, art prints, etc.). We try our best to describe items accurately and disclose any and all flaws and imperfections. Please refer to pictures as a visual description. We want to make sure you are happy with your purchase so, please do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have prior to checkout.

SHIPPING
As much as possible, we utilize recycled shipping boxes. The box you receive your item in may show signs of wear and pre-use.

PHOTOGRAPHY
All photos are taken in natural light and we do not use any photo filters and do not perform any photo editing (other than basic photo cropping). Depending on your monitor settings, there may be subtle differences in color once you see your item in person.
