Manufactured by prominent mid-century metalware foundries specializing in high-end desk accessories—such as PM Craftsmen (Philadelphia Manufacturing Company) or Virginia Metalcrafters—these heavy bookends pay direct homage to the monumental classical portraiture of legendary 19th-century American artists. Each substantial left-facing sculpture features an intricate profile portrait of the 16th U.S. President, beautifully detailed in his formal period attire and anchored securely onto thick, rectangular block bases crafted from solid dark-stained walnut wood. Engineered to serve as highly versatile decorative anchors, these pieces are ideal high-impact room accents for an executive home office desk, a mid-century library bookshelf, or a curated entryway console table where the warm, antique brass luster breaks up rigid rows of books to inject a sophisticated, scholarly atmosphere.
