Vintage Book Bundle in Warm Orange and Tan

This is a hand tied bundle of five vintage hardbacks, chosen and stacked for their gorgeous run of warm colour rather than their reading matter, though there are some lovely titles in here too. The spines move through toffee and tan into soft terracotta, burnt orange and a warm ochre cloth, the palette that makes vintage books such a decorator's favourite. Faded gilt lettering, aged cloth boards and that unmistakable old book patina do the rest.

Among the titles you will spot Thor Heyerdahl's The Kon-Tiki Expedition, a copy of Victorian and Edwardian Shopwork, Richard Mason's The Wind Cannot Read and more, an eclectic mix that gives guests something to pick up and browse. We have tied the stack with a green striped ribbon so it arrives ready to display straight out of the box.

The bundle measures 25 x 19 x 11 cm as stacked. We love vintage books used as warm, characterful props. Stand them upright between bookends, lay them flat to raise a lamp, a plant or a small sculpture, or pile them on a coffee table or shelf as a hit of autumnal colour. They work beautifully in a styled vignette, in a photograph, or simply to bring soul and a sense of history to a bookcase.

These are secondhand books with real age. Expect gentle wear to the boards, spines and edges, the odd bumped corner and some fading, all of which is part of their charm and exactly what gives them that collected, lived in look. They are sold as a decorative bundle.
