This mid-century bookmark from the 1950s was made in Poland using thin brass sheet with a matte, golden-bronze surface. Natural patina and localized traces of oxidation highlight its authentic vintage origin. The elongated silhouette is defined by a precise geometric outline, featuring a stylized heart-shaped cut-out and delicately scalloped, semi-abstract edges. The surface combines smooth areas with subtle, expertly engraved motifs, referencing both plant and geometric patterns characteristic of the era. Cut from a single piece of brass and devoid of mechanical joints, the edges are rounded and comfortable to the touch. Slim and lightweight, the design enables easy marking of book pages without risk of damaging the paper. The condition is very good—only minor wear and original patina are visible, in keeping with 1950s vintage pieces.The bookmark embodies the voice of postwar modernism, where simplicity meets craftsmanship and every detail reflects an era seeking balance between function and ornament. The heart cut-out retains graphic discipline while expressing the softness of a stylized line—evoking private reading rituals from decades past. Faint signs of wear whisper their own stories, and the tactile quality of brass recalls small everyday pleasures through the years.This bookmark would suit classic volumes on an oak desk or introduce a subtle vintage accent into a contemporary bookshelf. It can be paired with other brass office accessories—such as an inkwell or paperweight—to emphasize its industrial character. The piece complements mid-century modern or eclectic collector’s interiors, and would be at home next to natural wood textures, leather, or canvas-bound covers, amplifying its visual impact and historic resonance.
