Pair of Vintage Our Wonderful World Books Edited by J. A. Hammerton, Volumes I and II

This handsome pair of vintage books comes from Our Wonderful World, edited by J. A. Hammerton and published by The Amalgamated Press, London. This listing includes Volumes I and II from the series, sold together as a decorative bundle.

Bound in warm mustard cloth with gilt lettering and deep blue decorative bands to the spines and covers, the books have a rich period look and wonderful styling appeal. Measuring 29 x 22 x 6 cm as a bundled pair, they are substantial enough to bring colour, structure and visual weight to a bookshelf, coffee table, desk or sideboard.

The golden mustard covers work beautifully with antique brass, dark wood, dried botanicals, framed artwork, studio pottery and other vintage hardbacks. Styled with the tartan ribbon shown, they make an especially appealing decorative bundle, perfect for adding warmth and character to a layered interior display.

These books are ideal for anyone who loves vintage interiors, collected home styling, old reference books or decorative books with a strong colour palette. Their size makes them particularly useful as a base for a small ceramic, candle, vase or natural object, while the gilt detail and blue bands add just enough contrast to catch the eye.

The books are in good vintage condition with age related wear to the covers, corners, spines and pages, all in keeping with their age and use. A lovely pair of vintage hardback books with decorative charm, useful scale and a warm, characterful look.
