Set of 6 Green Books

Rich, scholarly, and beautifully bound, this set of six antique volumes from Irving’s Works brings the quiet gravitas of a gentleman’s library to any space. Each book is bound in deep forest green leather with a pebbled grain, raised bands on the spine, and delicate gilt tooling. A charming gold floral motif is repeated in each compartment, and the titles are stamped in gold, identifying the set as the Life of Washington by Washington Irving, with volumes I, IV, V, VI, VII, and VIII present.

The gently worn leather and softly aged gilding give the books a lovely, lived-in patina, with a few spines showing the scuffing and rubbing that come from generations on the shelf. Stack them on a coffee table or console, tuck them into a bookcase, or use them as a base for styling a lamp, vase, or candlesticks. Their dark, saturated color adds instant depth and a collected, old-world feel to traditional and contemporary interiors alike.

Each Book: 8"H x 5"W x 1.25"D
