Leather & Bronzed Metal Gothic Revival Photo Album w. Gilt Pages Antique Photos

About the Item

Antique and very rare Gothic photo book filled with French photos from circa 1860-1880. Over the decades we have bought and sold many Gothic Revival antiques from almost all the centuries since Gothic pieces have been around. This however is the first time that we ever found a pure Gothic photo album. This hand-crafted album dates from circa 1870-1890 and some of the antique photos are even older. The most eyecatching features (when this album is closed) are ofcourse the large, bronzed metal, Gothic hinges and they even still open and close perfectly on the side where this album closes and opens. Another great feature is the embossed leather Gothic decoration on the spine of this rare antique. It includes two Gothic trefoil symbols for the trinity, making this rare antique also a meaningful one. The guilded outsides of the pages makes it resemble the outsides of many large antique bibles and the multitude of photos inside (many Parisian) are images that tell part of the story of what life was like (for the well to do) in the mid 1800s in France. Besides the clothes and furniture, the facial expressions also have a story to tell. If you have an eye for those things then this Gothic album really is an interesting 'time capsule' to wander through. A few pages have some damage to the cardboard like paper, but the overal condition of this rare antique certainly is good. If you like this ecclesiastical looking photo album as much as we do then you will love our price. Especially since perfect packing (in a custom made box) and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days are complimentary. Maximum width x height x depth when closed: 9.45 x 6.1 x 2.1 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for artistic and beautiful and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again).
