Brass Horse Bookends For Sale on 1stDibs

There is a range of brass horse bookends for sale on 1stDibs. Each of these unique brass horse bookends was constructed with extraordinary care, often using metal, brass and marble. Brass horse bookends have long been popular, with older editions for sale from the 19th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 20th Century. There are many kinds of brass horse bookends to choose from, but at 1stDibs, Mid-Century Modern, Art Deco and Hollywood Regency brass horse bookends are of considerable interest. Brass horse bookends have been a part of the life’s work for many furniture makers, but those produced by Walter Von Nessen, Chase Brass and Copper Company and Arthur von Frankenberg are consistently popular.

Finding the Right Bookends for You

A good pair of antique, new or vintage bookends will look wonderful in your reading nook. And the need for these trusty home accents has stood the test of time, which means there are many different kinds to suit any design taste or furniture style.

Bookends weren’t created until the 1870s. Serving faithfully in the background, they went unobserved for a while. The authors of the Oxford English Dictionary report that the term “book end” didn’t appear in printed material until 1907. The primary function of bookends is to ensure that your books remain upright in your bookcase, but style and form have taken the lead over the years. Furniture makers have ensured that bookends demand as much attention as the books themselves. Indeed, while competing with carefully curated first editions or rows of colorful spines is no small task, plenty of bookends steal the stage.

If you’re looking to add a dose of intrigue or decorative flourish to your reading room that will be difficult to ignore, stone bookends and metal bookends can take on the appearance of small, provocative sculptures rather than functional accessories to keep your books orderly on your shelves. Depending on what kind of textures you’re thinking of introducing to your home office or study, a pair of brass bookends or a bronze set will pop against your dusty hardcovers and any decorative objects you’ve accumulated while working to style your bookcase. A pair of mid-century modern bookends carved from dark, exotic woods such as teak can also introduce warmth to a home office or study. While teak was a favorite of designers who worked with furniture in the mid-20th century, all manner of wood bookends have emerged over the years, with some woodworkers carving ornate patterns or figures into their pieces.

Bookworms, take note: You can find an extraordinary range of antique, new and vintage bookends for your dazzling book displays and bookshelves today on 1stDibs.
