It is bound in full velvet with metal corners and clasp. All edges gilt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrench bookbinders created exquisite works of art with their books, using different materials such as velvet and papier mache to create unusual and striking bindings. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's in very good condition but there is wear to the spine and all metal letters are missing save for the end s. The metal is a little tarnished and there is a piece missing from the back part of the clasp. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, the endpapers are moire silk and there are no inscriptions or writings of any kind. The pages show light age toning throughout with occasional foxing. There is also the odd bump and chip to the page edges. The book features stunning plates - both in colour (illuminated in gold) and in black and white, each with their own tissue guard. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions approximately 13.8cm x 10.5cm x 3cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book will arrive hand wrapped in patterned wallpaper and string.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI use a range of eco friendly, 100% recyclable jiffy bags and boxes, and whenever possible I use brown paper tape. The green bubble wrap is oxo-degradable and the clear bubble wrap is 100% recyclable. I also reuse boxes when I feel it's appropriate (if the boxes are sturdy enough).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Vintage Bookworm UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57357370524021,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0539\/9271\/8525\/files\/DC2DDE65-FDCF-4D7E-B7EE-C5E40035C6B2.jpg?v=1784134003","url":"https:\/\/thevintagebookworm.co.uk\/products\/petit-paroissien-19th-century-full-velvet-binding-with-metal-details-and-clasp","provider":"The Vintage Bookworm UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
