This impressive matching set features beautiful deep red cloth hardback bindings with gilt lettering and decorative oval medallion designs on the spines, giving the books a classic antique library look that displays wonderfully on a shelf. Large matching sets like this are increasingly difficult to find intact and make striking décor for a study, library, office, or vintage-inspired interior.
