Description from the seller

Pair of fish-shaped brass and teak bookends – nautical design – 20th century

Important pair of bookends depicting stylized fish, made of solid brass with a teak base, characterized by a sturdy and decorative finish.

These bookends merge functionality with aesthetic value: the brass provides weight, stability, and brightness, while the teak adds a warm, natural touch, recalling the nautical world and marine decor.

The fish shapes, dynamic and elegant, give the whole piece a strong visual impact, making these objects ideal not only to support books but also as true decorative elements.

Thanks to their substantial weight (about 1.3 kg for the pair), they are perfectly functional and stable.

Ideal for:
- libraries and studies with a classic or nautical taste
- maritime environments or seaside homes
- vintage home decor enthusiasts and brass objects
- a unique and characterful gift idea

The combination of materials and the design make this pair a timeless object capable of enhancing any setting.
