Pair of Cast Iron Galleon Sailing Ship Bookends — 4" wide x 4.25" tall
A striking pair of vintage cast iron galleon sailing ship bookends with a warm hammered gold finish that gives them a rich, antique-bronze appearance. Each bookend is sculpted in the form of a full-rigged galleon under sail — billowing sails, a carved figurehead at the bow, and a textured sea base — all rendered in wonderful detail on the front, with a smooth hammered texture on the reverse. The flat foot base keeps them stable and upright on any shelf.
Galleon bookends like these were popular mid-century decorative accessories and are a perennial favorite with nautical collectors and home decorators alike. This pair is well-matched and in great condition — ready to anchor your favorite books in style.
