Antique edition of Key of Paradise, a Christian devotional and prayer book presented in an exceptionally decorative period binding.
The black cover features elaborate gold gilt ornamentation with a prominent Christian cross, matching decorative borders and gilt detailing extending to the spine. The interior includes religious text along with an illustrated plate, giving the book wonderful visual appeal as both a devotional volume and an antique book collectible.
Measuring approximately 6 1/4" x 4", this is a compact volume with an impressive decorative presence. The aged pages, ornate binding and religious imagery give it wonderful old-world character.
Antique pre-owned condition with significant age-related wear, particularly around the spine, corners and edges of the binding. The covers show rubbing and loss to portions of the finish and gilt decoration. Pages exhibit expected toning, foxing and age-related discoloration.
