The General Bookends

France, 19th Century

$375

Antique Set of 2 Exactly As Pictured

These cast iron General bookends, dating to the 19th century and sourced from central France, once held logs in the hearths of grand kitchen fireplaces. Now, Sylvie employs them to keep her collection of medieval poetry upright and looking appropriately regal, on the shelf. Their surface bears a fine layer of rust, a reminder of their age and the firelight they once knew.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.
