Antique 1800s Grimms Fairy Tales | Victorian Green Cloth Decorative Binding

Step back in time with this charmingly worn Victorian edition of Grimms’ Popular Tales. Featuring a striking emerald green cloth cover with ornate black stamped illustrations and gold gilt lettering, this book is a quintessential example of 19th-century book design.
While this copy has seen over a century of use, its "flaws" tell a story of their own. It features delightful original pencil drawings and doodles on the inner flyleaves—a rare glimpse into the imagination of a child from generations past.
Perfect for:
• Home Decor: A stunning "shelfie" piece for those who love the dark academia or cottagecore aesthetic.
• Gift for Bibliophiles: A unique piece of history for the collector who values character over "mint condition."
