A pair of decorative brass bookends
A unique pair of brass bookends shaped like stylized ducks, designed as a decorative yet functional object.
The bookends feature a striking, sculptural design—the ducks’ silhouettes are rendered in a distinctive, slightly stylized manner, with elongated beaks and elegantly curved necks. The brass surface has a natural, warm golden patina and visible signs of wear, which emphasize the item’s vintage character.
The design is both decorative and practical—when placed on either side of a stack of books, the bookends stabilize the books while creating a very attractive arrangement on a shelf, desk, or in a library.
Dating
Probably the second half of the 20th century, ca. 1960–1980.
