Vintage Solid Brass Figural Bookend | Art Nouveau Style Botanical Form | Sculptural Brass Book Support

What to know

Materials

Brass

Vintage

From the 1920s

A striking vintage solid brass figural bookend, sculpted in an organic, botanical form with a twisting stem and stylized leaves rising from a stepped square base. This sculptural design reflects strong Art Nouveau influence, dating to the early 20th century (circa 1920s–1930s).

The piece is cast in solid brass and has developed a rich, warm patina with areas of verdigris and darkened toning, adding depth and character. Its substantial weight makes it suitable for supporting books, while its sculptural quality allows it to function equally well as a decorative object.

Sold as one single bookend.
