Likely dating to the 1960s–1970s, the clean architectural design feels both minimalist and substantial, making them equally suited to modern, traditional, or eclectic interiors. Each bookend is formed from a single continuous curve of brass rising from a flat base, creating a graceful wedge-like silhouette that is both functional and visually striking. The warm aged patina gives the brass a rich golden tone with subtle variations that add depth and character. Unmarked examples of this design are commonly attributed to Sarreid Ltd., and these match known Sarreid examples closely in both form and dimensions. The scale is larger than most bookends, allowing them to easily support oversized art books or decorative volumes.

These have a wonderful gallery-like presence and function beautifully as both practical bookends and sculptural decorative objects. See less
