Antique Charles Dickens 4-Volume Set, Half Calf Leather Binding, 19th Century
Embark on a journey through the golden age of Victorian literature with this exquisite four-volume set of Charles Dickens’ works, published by Chapman & Hall Ltd, London, in the mid-19th century. This collection includes “Nicholas Nickleby,” “Martin Chuzzlewit,” “David Copper-field,” and “The Pickwick Papers”, some dated between 1844 and 1850. One volume features a facsimile autograph signed “Faithfully Yours, Charles Dickens”, adding a touch of historical charm.
Binding: Beautifully bound in 19th-century brown half Morocco leather with marbled boards, these volumes boast gilt-decorated panelled spines and marbled edges, epitomizing Victorian craftsmanship.
The bindings show signs of wear consistent with age, including some distressing and a partially missing label on one volume, yet retain their elegance and historical appeal.
Each volume is meticulously illustrated, enhancing the immersive experience of Dickens’ timeless narratives.
Published by Chapman & Hall Ltd, Piccadilly, London a hallmark of quality in Dickens’ original works.

Why This Set Stands Out:
This collection is not just a literary treasure but also a decorative masterpiece for collectors and enthusiasts. The inclusion of a facsimile autograph and the original Victorian-era binding make it an exceptional find for any Dickens aficionado or rare book collector. Average over 35 plates in each and a page of Errors “Errata”
Perfect for display in libraries or study rooms, this set is also an ideal gift for lovers of classic literature. Its historical significance and aesthetic appeal make it a conversation starter and a cherished addition to any collection.
