A rare 1930s custom cobbler shoe form repurposed as a striking bookend, showcasing the patina and craftsmanship of early 20th-century shoemaking.
Originally carved for a bespoke cobbler, this wooden shoe last reflects traditional artisan methods and was likely used in a custom shoe workshop. Today, it serves as a sculptural bookend—perfect for a library, office, or styled shelf. The elongated form, worn surface, and authentic age marks give it strong industrial and menswear appeal, making it a favorite among designers for studies, law offices, and heritage interiors. Equally compelling as a standalone object or paired with leather-bound books and vintage accessories.
