Description
The frogs are cast in a primitive, sculptural form with raised eyes and crouched posture, facing inward when displayed as bookends. Mounted on solid hardwood bases, they present beautifully with a warm rustic character that complements Arts & Crafts, country, cottage, library, and folk-art interiors.
The combination of cast iron construction, handcrafted appearance, and aged wooden bases suggests early to mid-20th century manufacture. Their untouched surface and authentic wear contribute significantly to their decorative appeal.
Approximate dimensions (each): 4.5" H x 5" W x 5" D.
