18th Century prayer books engravings prove to be a success
When designing our new web site, we were determined to make
available for purchase, some of the religious antiques and
ephemera that we normally buy and sell to dealers or that we
hadn't even realised we had! A
set of hand-coloured, 18th Century prayer book engravings
we have had for some time seemed to fit the bill perfectly. And so,
they were(and still are) included in our new site. We sold 25 almost
as soon as they appeared on our new site! I guess we made the right
decision.
Don't worry, we have plenty more!
