French Antique Love Letters

French Antique Love Letters

French antique love letters are a rare find.

Love letters aren't always between two lovers.

The letter I found was written to someone's grandfather.

These love letters are on embossed paper (14 x 10 inches) with paper flowers and birds, often tied with a pastel ribbon. The words written are poetic, well-chosen, and tenderly scripted.

 

It's a beautiful love story that started with a love letter in 1898.

The love letters were not from the same person, though from the same family. Letters to a husband, a mother, a grandfather, a daughter, a husband-to-be…

A love story

A family's story.

Spoken.

Held.

Treasured.

Marguerite.

A child.

A love letter.

No age is too young or too old…

To express love.

I do not have any love letters to give. However, I have some letters below to share. If you are interested, please email me or leave a comment.

 Indeed, you have seen movies where a person waits desperately for the post to arrive. And when the butler brings in the long-awaited letter, they grab it and race to another room to read it alone…

These are invoices, but the letters were hand-delivered, folded with the address marked on the paper directly.

The ones I have are from the 1800s

  1. Beautiful love letters touching the hearts forever.
    More than words letters mingle souls.

  2. Beautiful paper… Exquisite handwriting…What’s not to love? <3

  3. These are beautiful. The handwriting is lovely. I miss letters. Emails just aren’t the same–no matter what the message is. Letter-writing is a lost art and, even though modern etiquette says an emailed thank you note is OK, I still send one in the mail.

    Even a hand-written invoice would be delightful in my mailbox these days of electronic billing and emails! Isn’t that handwriting exquisite?

  5. Yess please, a letter in French, would love to have one.

    The handwriting is so gorgeous. Why don’t people write this way today? I think there may be a trend in the U.S. to teach cursive once again in schools, but even that doesn’t compare.

  7. A handwritten letter from your collection would be a treasured gift. 🎁. Thank you I

    You have inspired me greatly over the years.. admiring your Grace and great sense of style! I have adored your red leather shoes! 👠 I have a yearning to return to France to practice my French speaking skills that I have been practicing the last 4 years. I am able to read the language with a greater sense of ease than I can confidently speak the French language. I would love to read and display a love letter in my home. You are very generous Corey thank you for your kind heart!❤️

  10. The love letters are so beautiful!
    What a treasure!
