A pair of sculptural vintage bronze bookends from Japan, dating to around the 1960s. The circular bookends feature a beautiful openwork bamboo motif with intersecting stems and detailed leaves, inspired by traditional Japanese nature ornamentation.
The deep greenish patina highlights the texture of the bronze and gives the bookends a vibrant, aged character. As decorative as they are practical – a fine addition to the bookshelf or desk.
