Les Oeuvres de Theatre de M. D'Ancourt.
Published 1760, Paris by Librairies Associes.
11 volumes, each c. 375 pages. Text in French. Engraved frontis in four volumes as issued.

Attractive antiquarian full leather bindings, smooth spine, gilt bands & compartment decorations, marbled end papers. Various spine title labels are missing as seen in pic, one vol. with about 25% of spine leather chipped away near front joint. 

Set is physically old and shows some signs of handling and time. Lovely mottled calf covers.

Bindings well age worn but still appealing, leather and joints dried, chipped, rubbed and with cracked joints, but still supple, bindings sound, set remains overall attractive as a mid-18th century object.

Text block paper is gently age toned as typical, internally each book remains mostly clean, tight and sound. A set which has been taken care of but may/ does not look like new.

Still attractive on the shelf. Set displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in rather nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws seem easy to overlook or forgive. 

Please review photos for more detailed attempt to present this rare set as it survives. 

We often over-describe any flaws that many sellers would not even bother to mention since most people would overlook them as minor and unworthy of comment. Many people tell us the books they receive from us are nicer in person than they appears on the screen. We want you to be clear about what you are buying, so we take numerous photos and try to describe it openly and honestly.

Books Measures c. 5 3/4" H x 3 1/4" W.
