Scottish Antiques & Collectables
Scottish antiques and vintage clan history and tartan books hold a treasured place within the preservation of Scotland’s rich cultural heritage.
Antique books on clan history frequently contain detailed genealogies, accounts of significant events, and illustrations of heraldic symbols. These texts serve not only as historical records but also as artistic works, often enhanced with intricate bindings and original printings that appeal to collectors and historians alike.
Vintage tartan books, meanwhile, document the myriad patterns and colour combinations that distinguish Scotland’s clans. Such books can range from early Weaver’s samples to comprehensive compendiums detailing the evolution and registration of tartans. They are essential for anyone seeking an authoritative source on tartan designs, providing context about their origins, variations, and meanings.
Together, these antiques and vintage publications form a crucial repository of Scottish identity, bridging the past and present for enthusiasts, scholars, and those with personal or familial connections to Scotland’s clans. At The House of Labhran, we appreciate the enduring significance of these works in complementing the fine Scottish Highland dress and traditions we present.
We will mainly be sorting, cataloging and listing a collection of vintage clan history, tartan and Highland wear books over the next day or so.
