A magnificient French antique photograph album from the Victorian era. The hand carved wood cover finely features in an openwork medallion two hound dogs with high details, resting in a red velvet background. They are just georgous! Around the medallion and on the back cover, the decor displays a wood bark shape. The cover is closed by a metal plaque depicting the former book's owner monogram: CI. The edge of each page is meticulously gilded.
This Black Forest photo album is one of a kind and remain a fabulous souvenir book to cherish. The wooden cover is in good antique condition with an antique burnished patina. The red velvet spine of the book has some wears. The pages too, there are some small tears, and stains. Please take a close look at the photos.
