About the Item
Offered is a pair of vintage Abraham Lincoln bust bookends. The pair feature the likeness of Abraham Lincoln with detailed facial features and formal attire. The bookends were made by Verona in the mid 20th century.
The Lincoln bust is modeled after the 1887 full-length standing bronze by Augustus Saint-Gaudens for Chicago’s Lincoln Park. Saint-Gaudens based Lincoln’s likeness on plaster life casts of the president’s head. Saint-Gaudens was awarded the commission in 1883, largely due to the success and popularity of his earlier Civil War-related projects such as the Farragut Monument in Madison Square Park and the Sherman Monument in Grand Army Plaza, both in New York.
This bookend set retains its bright bronze coloring. They are heavyweight enough to hold up even large sets of books on a shelf.
Located near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the Verona Steel Castings Company produced ashtrays, doorstops, and other goods including bookends. The company was founded in 1905 under the name "General Casting Company." It changed its name around 1907 to "Verona," in honor of the foundry's home town. Their bookends are particularly sought after by collectors for their craftsmanship and historical designs.
