Here is a vintage two-volume set of Anna Karenina and War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy, published by the International Collectors Library and dating to the mid-20th century (1950s–1960s). Bound in rich red leather (or leatherette) with ornate gilt decoration, these editions are styled after the “Czar Alexander II” binding and feature beautifully detailed gold tooling across the covers and spines.
The books have a classic, old-world presence with their deep red tone, raised decorative motifs, and gold accents. They display especially well on a shelf or stacked, adding that layered, collected look that always works in interiors. I especially love the scale and color—these feel substantial without being oversized, and the red/gold combination is just timeless. Each volume includes ribbon markers and illustrated interiors, with clean, readable text.
Each book is 5.75 x 2.125 x 8.5
