Description from the seller
Pair of painted cast iron bookends, toucan model, circa 1970.
Charming pair of cast iron bookends representing two brightly colored toucans: yellow-orange to red gradient beak, black plumage, white throat and cheeks, yellow eye. Each toucan stands on a small pink rock and is fixed on a rectangular black patinated cast iron base. Typical decorative animalier style from the 1970s.
Good overall condition. The paint shows some normal wear and traces of use for the age (especially on the beaks and bases). No major breaks or missing parts. Weight of each bookend approx. 1500 g. Dimensions of each piece: height approx. 15 cm, depth approx. 13 cm, base width approx. 9.5 cm.
