{"product_id":"late-victorian-leather-bound-photograph-album-with-gilt-amp-blind-tooling-and-working-clasp","title":"Late Victorian Leather-Bound Photograph Album with Gilt and Blind Tooling and Working Clasp","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eAntique carte-de-visite family photograph album bound in dark brown leather over thick boards, richly decorated with blind- and gilt-tooled ornament across the front, back, and spine. The covers display symmetrical foliate and geometric panels characteristic of late Victorian \/ Gothic-Revival decorative binding, with softened edges and surface wear consistent with long-term handling. The spine is rounded and paneled, showing natural leather shrinkage and cracking at the head and tail.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe album retains its clasp and hardware, showing age-related patina and wear but remaining intact. Interior pages are heavy card stock with period die-cut openings designed to hold cartes-de-visite and cabinet photographs. The pages exhibit foxing, toning, and minor edge wear consistent with age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe photographs housed within the album appear to be original 19th-century studio portraits, contemporaneous with the album itself, reinforcing the period authenticity. Construction details—including the depth of tooling, irregularities in gilt application, and hand-bound structure—support a 19th-century origin rather than later reproduction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"For the Louvre of Antiques LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48130126119167,"sku":null,"price":260.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/8780\/4927\/files\/0bae187c-e19b-41ae-a3b9-a0bfbec80c3f.png?v=1769960750","url":"https:\/\/forthelouvreofantiques.com\/es\/products\/late-victorian-leather-bound-photograph-album-with-gilt-amp-blind-tooling-and-working-clasp","provider":"For the Louvre of Antiques LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
