Beautiful 1874 edition of Alfred Tennyson’s “Idylls of the King” in an elegant full leather fine binding with extensive gilt tooling to spine and boards, marbled endpapers, and bright silvered page edges.
Published by Henry S. King & Co., London, 1874.
A very attractive Victorian decorative binding with strong shelf presence. Leather retains rich color and gilt detail throughout. Interior pages are clean and well preserved with light age toning and occasional minor spotting. Binding remains solid and text block tight.
Shows light rubbing, surface marks, and expected age-related wear to leather boards, corners, and spine as shown in photos. Small previous owner initials to front endpaper. Please review all photographs carefully for condition details.
A striking antique library/display piece and an excellent addition to any fine binding, Victorian literature, or decorative antiquarian book collection.
