ABOUT PRODUCTID 1996
This pair of bookends featuring armillary sphere models was crafted in Belgium in the 1970s, embodying mid-century modern aesthetics with a distinct nod to scientific and astronomical motifs. The construction combines warm, antique brass with a subtle golden hue and copper-brown backplates finished in a brushed, satin texture. The armillary spheres are intricately formed, with intersecting rings and a central arrow joined by visible rivets, set atop solid rectangular bases. The proportions are harmonious, with smooth, gently lustrous surfaces that highlight the craftsmanship and attention to detail. There are no visible signs of wear, damage, or restoration; the bookends remain in excellent condition, as evidenced by the pristine edges and intact metal finish. The sundial motif reflects the era's fascination with science—a hallmark of the 1970s, when space exploration and technological innovation influenced the world of design. The armillary spheres evoke a time when the imagination of architects and designers reached toward the stars, turning everyday objects into small statements of progress. The metallic sheen and balanced geometry tell the story of an epoch where scientific symbolism infused interiors with an intellectual, contemplative character. These bookends are well suited to both classic libraries and contemporary studies, pairing effectively with wooden shelving or minimalist bookcases. They may be arranged alongside cloth- or leather
