19th C. French Leather Cross Missal with Clasp

Dimensions: 3.25" W x 5" H x 1.1" D

This handsome French Paroissien Romain prayer book was published in Dijon in 1868 by Antoine Maître and is beautifully bound in embossed brown leather with its original gilt brass clasp still intact. Created for daily devotion and the celebration of the Church calendar, the volume contains the Sunday offices, feast days, prayers to the saints, and the Stations of the Cross. Rich with nearly 160 years of history, it is a timeless example of nineteenth-century French craftsmanship—equally at home displayed in a curated library or treasured as a meaningful devotional heirloom.
