This fantastic 1960-70s vintage pair of abacus bookends features black-painted wood frames with movable wood beads, all set atop solid brass bases with coordinating brass corner details. Inspired by traditional Asian abacuses, the pair combines sculptural form with playful functionality, creating a wonderfully decorative and conversation-starting accent for a bookshelf, desk, or study.
I especially love the contrast between the dark wood and warm aged brass — it gives the pieces a sophisticated, collected look while the movable beads add a tactile, interactive quality.
Marked “Hong Kong” on the underside.
