A very nice pair of Art Deco ship's wheel bookends by Walter Von Nessen for Chase & Co., circa 1930s. The bookends are made of walnut, brass and bakelite; they depict the captain’s wheel of a ship. The base, spokes, and wheel handles are solid brass, the upright standard is walnut. The wheel itself, which can spin freely, is made of black bakelite with each spoke numbered 1 through 6. The tops of the standards are highlighted with a brass cap.
The set is in very good vintage condition with a fine patina, some minor imperfections including a few surface scratches; the pair can be polished but I am selling them with their original finish and patina.
They measure 8.75" W x 3.5” D x 6.25"H and are marked "Chase" on the back side of the base. The Set weighs 3 pounds 2.0 ounces. Each Bookend weighs approximately 25.15 ounces or 713 grams.
Great gift for any sailor or boating enthusiast! Wonderful addition to any library, den, or mantle! #13569
The Chase Brass and Copper Company produced consumer and industrial products including buttons, novelties, copper pipe and plumbing supplies. During the 1930s, when demand for these types of goods declined due to the Great Depression, Chase, seeking to increase its business, entered the consumer market with a line of modern household goods made of chrome-plated metal, copper, and brass. The stylish, streamlined wares were created by some of the leading industrial designers of the day, including Russel Wright, Lurelle Guild, and Walter Von Nessen. Chase discontinued the line in the early 1940s when the company was engaged by the US government to produce war materials, such as shell and gun casings, during World War I.
