Antique French Paroissien Romain (1849) – Luxury Gilt Edges & Brass Clasp – Limoges

An authentic French Catholic parish missal, printed in Limoges and approved by Bernard Buissas, Bishop of Limoges, in 1849.

This copy is bound in dark leather with blind-stamped decoration and features an original working brass clasp. The edges are fully gilt and adorned with small engraved crosses – a rare and refined detail characteristic of more luxurious 19th-century editions.

Inside, there is a handwritten inscription from 1868, which enhances its historical context and authenticity.
