Stack of Six Vintage French Books

This is a stunning set of six vintage French books in faded peach/orange/cream tones. They are "aged to perfection" and will give you an instant "old library" effect. There are works here by some of France's most famous writers, such as Théophile Gautier and Chateaubriand to give your bookshelves added French chic!

The perfect original gift for booklovers the world over. 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 six books are all distressed from years of genuine use, and some of the pages are delicate and loose:

The titles are:
Les Grands Ecrivains Français, Chateaubriand. M. De Lescure (Paperback 1923 edition.) This book studies the life of François-René, Vicomte de Chateaubriand (1768–1848.) A French writer, politician, diplomat and historian who founded Romanticism in French literature.

Auteurs Français, Dix-Huitième Siècle. F. Gendrot and F.-M. Eustache (Hardcover 1951 edition.) This book is packed full of famous French literary works from the 18th century writers.
