Pair of 19th C. French Book Velum Containers

About the Item

Two containers made from antique velum books. They are triangular in shape, each adorned with a faded golden design against a lighter background. The diamond-shaped central motif, bordered by intricate patterns, suggests a touch of elegance and historical influence. They are antique pieces, made from a pair of antique books made of embossed velum. These containers could be made into table bases or beautiful and unique elements in an interior design scheme that appreciates vintage charm and character. The insides of both containers have pages from the original books that were used to create these rare vessels. Small Vessel-14"W x 13"D X 20"H Large Vessel-15"W X 14"D X 22.5"H
