A beautiful set of five Swedish leather-bound books, sourced from Stockholm and dating to the early 20th century. Each volume features a gilt leather spine with hand-marbled paper boards — a traditional binding method known in Sweden as halvfranskt band, prized for its craftsmanship and understated elegance.
One volume includes a handwritten inscription dated 1931, adding a personal sense of history. The rich patina of the leather contrasts elegantly with the softly marbled paper fronts, creating a palette of warm neutrals, ochre, and muted indigo that complements both classic and modern interiors.
Perfect for styling shelves, consoles, or desks — these books bring quiet sophistication and authentic European character to any setting.
Each measures approximately 9” H × 6” W × 0.75” D. See less
