This charming antique book bundle is a collection of hardbound books published by the New York D. Appleton and Company publication house. Founded by Daniel Appleton and his son William Henry Appleton in the early 19th century, this family business started as a general book store and grew to become one of the biggest publication houses in America. This collection of 19th-century hardbound tomes are appreciated today for their historic value and decorative antique aesthetic.
Each book is bound with a hard cover of beautifully hand-marbled paper and embossed leather binding. The texts are further embellished with gilded and deckled page edges, emphasizing their hand-made production. Despite losses to the binding, the set of books have aged wonderfully with time and use and are ideal today as a cozy addition to your bookcase, side table, or nightstand.
