Description

Presenting a highly collectible 1865 edition of The Works of Robert Burns, beautifully bound in two volumes.

This handsome set celebrates the life and legacy of Scotland’s national bard, whose poetry and songs have inspired generations.

Bound in classic half leather with blue cloth boards, each volume features richly patinated tan spines with raised bands, gilt embellishments, and contrasting red and black leather title panels.

The spines are adorned with gilt thistle motifs, a fitting tribute to the poet’s Scottish heritage.

The marbled page edges add another level of refinement, making this a truly elegant shelf display.

Internally, the volumes contain Burns’s poetry, songs, letters, and memoirs, including his commentary on 18th-century Scottish life and folklore.

The pages retain their original charm, with age-appropriate wear and mild foxing consistent with their age.

Whether for display, reading, or gift-giving, this set is an exceptional piece of literary and cultural history.
