Bookends (2) - Ducks - Brass - No reserve price

Vintage brass bookends in the shape of duck heads — mid-20th century.
Charming decorative brass bookends depicting duck heads, dating roughly from the 1950s to the 1970s. A fine example of mid-century decorative design, a time when functional objects were often designed to be genuine interior decorative elements.
The finishing work is particularly noteworthy: the feathers are finely sculpted in relief, while the features of the duck heads are rendered with a high degree of realism. Their solid construction gives them excellent stability, while the warm golden patina beautifully emphasizes their vintage character.
Condition: given their age, the bookends are in good overall condition. They show a few scratches and signs of wear related to time and use. These marks remain discreet and are little visible when the bookends are placed on a shelf with books.
These bookends will naturally find their place on a desk, in a library, or on a shelf, where they will add a touch of retro elegance and a singular charm to the decor.
