What we look for
Sought-after editions, manuscripts, illustrated books and coherent groups whose history, making or provenance deserves to be carried forward.
Chosen · Described · Sold with care
Offer a piece
Some books are bought. Others are entrusted.
FOLIA MUNDI considers rare books, manuscripts and distinctive pieces that may belong in the library. A few details and clear photographs are enough for an initial look.
What helps us
Views of the binding, spine, title page, limitation statement or colophon, together with any faults, help us understand the piece.
A discreet exchange
Information received is handled discreetly. If the piece fits the direction of FOLIA MUNDI, we will contact you to discuss what may follow.
Preparing your message
Show the piece as it is.
Include the title, author, date or edition when known, then attach a few photographs taken in natural light.
Please mention any restoration, losses, annotations or visible features. You may also include dimensions, known provenance and the price you have in mind.
This route is for pieces that may join the library. It is not a general valuation or authentication service.
