Collection of ten antique volumes of Irving's Works by Washington Irving, uniformly bound in leather with decorative gilt spine ornamentation and marbled paper-covered boards. These classic literary works feature period bindings that reflect 19th-century bookmaking craftsmanship. An attractive set for decorative library display, antiquarian book collections, or restoration.

Dimensions:
H: 8 in. W: 5 in. (each, approximate)

Condition:
Fair to poor antique condition with pronounced age-related wear. The bindings exhibit heavy rubbing, edge wear, scuffing, and losses. Several volumes have detached or loose boards, weakened spines, and fragile hinges, with some requiring restoration. Pages show expected toning and wear consistent with their age. Despite their condition, the set retains significant decorative appeal and historical character. Please review photographs for additional condition details.
