A single bookend with enough drama to make the other side of the shelf fend for itself.
This vintage cast-metal bookend depicts a full sailing ship riding over stylized waves, finished in a dark bronze and copper-toned surface that highlights the relief. The open spaces between the sails give the piece depth, while the broad base provides the practical weight a bookend actually needs.
At approximately 5½ inches tall, it works well with smaller books, a nautical shelf, or simply as a sculptural object on its own.
Condition: Good vintage condition with surface wear, darkening, scratches, and finish variation consistent with age. This listing is for one bookend only; no matching mate is included.
