Sylvie Favorite
Tied together with string and patience, these bundles of French paperbacks come from the library of a third-generation dealer in Montpellier, gathered over the span of 80 years. Their browned spines and worn pages are a testament to the everyday reading culture of France in the 19th and 20th centuries, when serialized novels and pocket editions were printed cheaply so literature could be passed hand-to-hand. Sylvie likes them just as they are, stacked on a console or coffee table, bringing with them the quiet weight of countless stories once devoured by candlelight or café cigarette breaks.

Notes from Sylvie:
This antique piece wears its history beautifully. Past woodworm holes, repairs, cracks, patina, and stains all add to its character.
