This pair of solid brass bookends is a testament to 1970s German design, drawing inspiration from the late Art Deco aesthetic. The geometry of each piece is striking: a stylized sailboat motif, rendered as a quarter-circle set atop a stable rectangular base. The warm, golden-brass surface is highly polished, creating a reflective contrast with the subtly textured sails, whose matte finish interrupts the mirror-like sheen. The construction is compact and precise, with finely cast details that showcase a craftsman’s approach to material, while the bases ensure reliable support for books. There are no visible signs of wear—the brass retains its original luster, with only a hint of natural patina that attests to the objects’ authentic vintage character. Condition: excellent. The sailboat motif evokes a sense of travel and aspiration, resonant with the spirit of the 1970s—a decade defined by exploration and a desire for freedom. The geometric simplicity and interplay of light on polished surfaces recall the fascination with form and material that characterized postwar modernism. Though compact, these bookends tell the story of an era when even everyday objects could assume a distinct identity and a touch of artistic flair. They may be paired with classic, leather-bound volumes or colorful mid-century books, set upon an oak or mahogany shelf. The bookends will work well in minimalist interiors, where they reinforce the discipline of form, as well as in eclectic collector’s libraries, serving as a discreet yet distinctive accent. Consider combining them with a brass-based lamp or a piece of 1960s–70s studio pottery to enhance the gentle interplay of golden reflections and geometric lines within the space.
