A pair of vintage bookends from the sixties with rotating globes that mimic the cartography of the 16th/17th centuries. They are held by a brass axis clamped into an antique protractor and are easily rotatable. A great decoration for a desk or a library. Beautiful, very good vintage condition.

Ein Paar Vintage-Buchstützen aus den sechziger Jahren mit rotierenden Globen, die die Kartographie des 16. /17. Jahrhunderts nachahmen. Sie werden von einer in einen antiken Winkelmesser eingespannten Messingachse gehalten und sind leicht drehbar.
Eine tolle Dekoration für einen Schreibtisch oder eine Bibliothek. Schöner, sehr guter Vintagezustand.
