Walter Jones of 195 & 196 Sloane Street, London, was associated with fine leather goods, stationery, and luxury desk accessories during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods.

The bookends retain the Walter Jones stamp bearing both Sloane Street addresses, adding historical interest and a lovely connection to Edwardian London. In lovely antique condition, with expected signs of age and use, including gentle surface marks and wear, carefully preserved during the hand dyeing process. A handsome pair of Edwardian burgundy leather bookends, perfect for a gentleman's study, library, writing desk, or traditional country house interior.
