Book Decor is a company that has grown out of a passion for reading, art and history. I stumbled upon these books and immediately fell in love. The smell of the leather, the beauty of the bindings, holding a piece of history and art in my hand, I was hooked. The rest, as they say, is history. In the years I have been working with antique books, I have placed books in hotels all over the world, had them in movies, plays, operas, television shows, amusement parks, window dressings, and photo shoots.Some of my clients include Caesars Palace, Ralph Lauren, The Chicago Lyric Opera House, ABC Television, and Disney.
These vintage books are generally older; published from 1800 to 1930. They have aged in such a manner through exposure to the elements and time to make them appear as though they belong in a medieval castle or sorcerer's den. Their look is unique and this group of books has been used on the set of several movies and television series.
These antique books are handpicked for their beauty and craftsmanship. They are highly detailed with gilt (gold) with beautiful images such as flowers, animals, people, cherubs and intricate patterns, embossed on wonderful leather, the workmanship is exquisite and rarely seen in today's mass-produced books.
The antique Jewel Tone books come in many colors and in a wide variety of size. They are exclusively in the Danish language. It is a more recent book, manufactured between 1900 and 1970, and can be used to fill large amounts of shelf space. With their minimal detailing and smooth leather, these books function well in both contemporary and modern decor. We carry these vintage books in red, brown, blue, green and black tones.
