Our Story

Literary Treasures — A Custodian and Seller of Fine & Beautiful Antiquarian Books

From Passion to Purpose

Literary Treasures was founded by Marie, whose lifelong love of books, stories, and history has shaped both her personal journey and professional calling. From an early age, she was captivated by the power of storytelling and the enduring presence of books that have travelled through time, bearing witness to generations past.

The Soul of Antiquarian Books

​​​​For Marie, antiquarian books are far more than objects — they are living fragments of history, each with its own story to tell. These volumes transcend lifetimes, passing through families and hands, carrying with them the beauty of craftsmanship, the richness of cultural heritage, and a profound sense of historical significance.

A Thoughtful, Curated Collection

​At Literary Treasures, Marie curates each book with great care and reverence, striving not only to preserve these remarkable works but also to carry their stories forward. Every book offered reflects a chapter of our shared cultural past, inviting new custodians to appreciate their beauty, understand their context, and continue their journey.

We Invite You to Share the Journey

We warmly invite you to explore the collection, discover these timeless stories, and perhaps find a piece of history to cherish, enjoy, and one day pass along to the next generation of collectors.

About

My name is Marie

I’m Marie — an artist, bookseller, and lifelong lover of history, stories, and beautiful objects. My passion for books and the past led me to create Literary Treasures, where I curate fine and antiquarian books for collectors and fellow enthusiasts. With a background in law, an enduring love of music, and the daily joy of being a mother, I bring care, precision, and creativity to every part of my work. For me, each book holds a story — not just in its pages, but in its journey through time — and I feel privileged to help these treasures find new custodians.
