ABOUT PRODUCTID 8135
This pair of bookends from the 1980s is crafted from exotic hardwood, presenting a deep, dark brown color with warm reddish undertones and expressive wood grain. The objects take the form of stylized busts of African women, featuring elongated necks, pronounced facial features, and intricately carved headdresses. Their construction is solid and heavy, ensuring reliable stability when supporting books. The semi-matte finish with areas of natural sheen accentuates the organic texture of the wood, while the precise carving highlights the artisan's skill. Geometric, angular forms and a symmetrical composition evoke both traditional African art and the mid-century modern aesthetic prevalent in European design of the 1980s. There are no visible signs of damage or restoration; a subtle patina and minor surface scratches, typical for vintage wooden objects, are present. The overall condition is very good, with only gentle traces of age and regular use.Through their form, these bookends speak to the 1980s fascination with non-European cultures and the search for individuality in everyday objects. The sculpted busts conjure the spirit of travel and collecting, while the noble wood evokes the warmth of a home library. Each bookend seems to carry its own story: the elongated silhouettes and finely detailed headdresses reflect a dialogue between tradition and modernity, a return to natural materials, and narratives etched into the wood's texture.The bookends can be paired with shelves or bookcases featuring simple, geometric lines to emphasize their sculptural qualities. They will work well in classic libraries as well as in contemporary
