Description

First up, the undisputed showstoppers: a pair of solid brass swan or goose head bookends with a sleek, modernist silhouette, broad flared bases, and a satisfyingly heavy feel that means business. Stamped 'Made in Korea' on the base, these beauties feature smooth, polished necks and subtly detailed heads that belong on a mid-century credenza or a very serious home library. They are sold as a matched pair and show light patina consistent with age, adding character without detracting from their bold good looks.

Next in the lineup, a pair of brass scallop shell bookends that bring a coastal, art deco sensibility to any shelf they grace. These fan-ribbed shells sit on flat oval bases and are marked on the underside with a label reading 'Genuine Solid Brass, Taiwan' distributed by a Bellmawr, New Jersey products company. The backs show natural tarnishing and age-appropriate patina, while the front ribbing remains crisp and dramatic. Whether you are decorating a beach house or just want to confuse your houseguests, these deliver.
