A charming pair of vintage cast iron bookends featuring a high-relief interpretation of Jean-François Millet’s iconic painting, The Angelus. The scene portrays two peasant farmers pausing in prayer at dusk, one of the most beloved images of 19th-century French Realism.
Expertly cast in solid iron, these bookends retain their original bronzed finish with a rich, naturally aged patina developed over decades of use. The sculptural relief exhibits excellent depth and detail, while the substantial weight makes them fully functional for supporting books as well as beautiful decorative accents.
Their timeless design complements French Country, European Traditional, English Library, Rustic, Cottage, Arts & Crafts, and Eclectic interiors.
A wonderful addition to a library, study, office, or collector’s display.
