Introduce a layer of calm, structural symmetry to your design vignette with this curated 6-book stack of vintage encyclopedias.
Styled strictly around a light, airy color palette of creams and alabaster, this collection is anchored by a commanding rich blue primary volume that brings clean depth to the base.
Each substantial volume is printed in the prestigious Royal Octavo format, presenting a clean, uniform look with exceptional structural presence. Perfect for building cohesive shelf height or anchoring a low-profile console table display.
Format: Set of 6 uniform hardcover books. 1957.
Dimensions (Individual Book): 9 ¼" H x 6" W x 2 ½" Thickness.
Total Stack Dimensions (Stacked Flat): 15" H x 6" W x 9 ¼" D.
Color Story: Cream, alabaster, and soft ivory spines anchored by a deep blue main volume.
Volumes Included: 1, 5, 6, 10, 17, and 19.
An ideal styling asset for low-profile coffee tables, bright open shelving, or a sunlit home office console. Coordinates beautifully with Organic Modern, Transitional Scholar, and Japandi design styles. Clean bindings, heavy structural presence, and ready for immediate exhibition.
Provenance Note: Hand-selected from the private collection of a prominent New York City writer and university professor.
Packaging & Preservation Note: To ensure its historic character and structure remain completely pristine, this collection is wrapped securely and shipped via tracking-enabled book-rate transit.
