About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
A beautiful and authentic antique volume of sheet music for the opera La Marjolaine, composed by Charles Lecocq, one of the notable figures of French operetta in the late 19th century.
This substantial book contains a complete vocal and piano score of the opera, including overture and musical numbers across three acts. The title page features elegant period typography and decorative engraving, characteristic of French music publishing of the era.
The binding combines a marbled paper cover with a leather spine, offering a classic and refined aesthetic. The interior pages are printed on quality paper, now gently aged, with clear musical notation and occasional handwritten marks typical of historical use.
With its strong decorative presence and historical character, this piece works equally well as a collectible music score or as a display object in a library, music room, or curated interior.
