BOOKS, DESK ITEMS AND EPHEMERA
The written word is possibly the closest link we have to the people of the past, reading the thoughts, pursuits and even shopping lists is one of the best ways to connect with history. Books and ephemera are wonderful for that reason, as well as the personal items people used every day to write the words and speak their minds.
VINTAGE SOLID BRASS ORNATE ROCOCO STYLE LETTER RACK
For the most sumptuous of desks! Ideal for grand Victorian desk dressing or even a little earlier - and still completely useful for everyday letter storage. Solid and heavy with some oxidisation so could be cleaned or enjoyed with the patina of age. 19cm long x15cm high. £38
LEATHER BOUND 1828 BOOK OF PSALMS
This is beautiful thing. A lovely book of Psalms (approved by the Church of Scotland) published in 1828 during the reign of George IV. At one point it was owned by someone with the initials F.H., who knows who they were? In fantastic order with a lovely patina to the leather and nothing visibly missing. £80
