Antique 1920 Book of Common Prayer, Religious Episcopal Manual

A beautifully timeworn antique Book of Common Prayer dated Easter 1920, wrapped in its original black leather cover with worn gold lettering and cross detail.

There is something especially moving about old prayer books — the softened pages, handwritten inscriptions, and quiet evidence of a life once faithfully lived. This one carries a lovely handwritten dedication inside:

“Roy Clark Hanaway from his loving wife, Ric. Easter 1920.”

Printed for the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America and bound together with The Psalter or Psalms of David, this sweet little volume is rich with history and soul.

Perfect tucked into a stack of antique books, displayed beside ironstone and candles, or gifted to someone who treasures meaningful old religious pieces and collected European-inspired decor.
