A beautiful collection of 17 antique volumes of The Windsor Shakespeare, edited by Henry N. Hudson and published in London by The Caxton Publishing Company in the early 20th century.
Originally issued as a twenty-volume collection of the works of William Shakespeare, these volumes are beautifully bound in rich burgundy cloth with decorative gilt lettering, ruled detailing and repeating floral motifs to the spines. The naturally aged bindings and softened gilt give the collection a wonderfully timeworn character.
The series brings together Shakespeare’s comedies, tragedies, histories, sonnets and poetry across individually bound volumes, making the collection equally appealing for reading, collecting or decorative display.
With their warm oxblood-red bindings and aged gold detailing, the books make a particularly striking addition to a library, study, bookshelf or styled console and bring an immediate sense of history and character to an interior.
Measurements: TBC
Please note that these books are over a century old and display age-related wear, including rubbing, fading, losses and wear to some spine and cover edges. These imperfections are consistent with their age and form part of the character of the collection.
Please note: the decorative bookends shown in the photographs are styling props only and are not included in the sale.
Free pickup available in Belair, South Australia. Shipping Australia wide, which will be invoiced upon purchase.
