Set of Polished Brass Nautilus Shell Bookends

About the Item

This Mid-Century Modernist pair of bookends offers abstracted sculptural renditions of the nautilus shell- a Classic inspiration in modern design (for everything from Vladimir Kagan chairs to Patek Phillipe watches)- realized in lustrous polished brass. With their simple whirling design executed in a beautiful luxe brass, these bookends exemplify the understated beauty of Mid Century Modernist design in America at its finest. These are completely functional bookends, but would also be equally well suited as decorative objects atop an bookcase orétagère.
