About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
An exquisite and substantial pair of vintage Mid-Century Modern bookends, featuring a stylized horse design. Crafted in Germany during the 1960s, these pieces are a prime example of the Brutalist aesthetic, characterized by their raw, sculptural power and textured finish.
These bookends are not only decorative but highly functional, made from solid heavy brass (or bronze) with a beautiful original golden patina that highlights their age and authenticity.
Period: 1960-1969
Style: Brutalist, Mid-Century Modern
Country of Origin: Germany
Materials: Solid Brass / Bronze
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. They show a wonderful natural patina and minor signs of wear consistent with age, which adds to their character.
Weight: 1.8 kg (very stable and capable of holding large, heavy books).
Dimensions: Height 15 cm | Length 10 cm | Depth 5.5 cm.
This pair is a perfect addition for a sophisticated office, a library, or as a statement piece on a sideboard. A true find for collectors of 20th-century German design.
SPECIAL GIFT INCLUDED:
To complete this desk set, I am including two matching vintage items:
A Solid Brass Mini Leaf Dish (8 cm) with its original "Garantiert Massiv Messing" German label.
A 1974 Commemorative Medal from Kaiserslautern, Germany, matching the era and origin of the bookends.
