Charles Dickens 4-Volume Set — Antique Half Morocco Leather Binding, Chapman & Hall, 19th Century

Antiquarian Books · Chapman & Hall, Piccadilly, London · c.1844–1850 · Half Morocco Leather with Gilt Spines

A distinguished and handsomely bound four-volume set of Charles Dickens' major works, published by his original and celebrated publisher Chapman & Hall Ltd, Piccadilly, London, in the mid-19th century. Bound in 19th-century brown half Morocco leather with marbled boards, gilt-decorated panelled spines, and marbled edges — a binding style that epitomises Victorian bookbinding at its finest.

One volume features a facsimile autograph signed “Faithfully Yours, Charles Dickens”, adding a layer of historical charm and collector appeal. Each volume is richly illustrated, averaging over 35 plates per volume, and includes an Errata page — a hallmark of early Victorian printing. A set of this completeness, binding quality, and publisher provenance is increasingly rare to find intact.
