A pair of vintage French library volumes featuring Pierre de Coulevain’s "Ève Victorieuse" and René Bazin's "Le Guide de l'Empereur", dating back to around 1910. These elegant pocket-sized editions were a staple of the refined Parisian study. The covers are adorned with a delicate Art Nouveau-inspired floral wreath, showcasing the storied charm of the historic Collection Nelson library.

At Maison Amaranth, we love these volumes displayed on a bedside table or a petite mantle. They are striking stacked horizontally to elevate a small taper candle, or tucked into a row of linen-bound books to soften a collection.
