Description

Anatole France born François-Anatole Thibault, (1844 – 1924) was a French poet, journalist, and novelist who produced a number of best sellers. He was a member of the Académie Française, and won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Literature "in recognition of his brilliant literary achievements, characterised as they are by a nobility of style, a profound human sympathy, grace, and a true Gallic temperament"

These 31 volumes are handsomely bound in quarter morocco, with gilt decorated spines and marbled paper covered boards, marbled end papers and gilt top edges. Published by Calmann-Levy of Paris and whilst undated likely to be circa 1920. Tightly bound and clean save for some age toning to the pages and an occasional intact but loosening preliminary page. Externally light shelf wear, light scuffing and marks and some minor loss to the gilding. Each volume measures some 18.7cms tall, 12.5cms deep and the overall combined shelf coverage is approximately 84cms.

Date of Manufacture

Donnelly Antiques Ltd has dated this piece to the 1920s.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
