Description
For the collector who believes that every book on a shelf deserves a monumental frame, we present this breathtaking pair of vintage solid brass ibex bookends. Cultivated for the ultimate Maximalist or Palm Beach Regency library, these sculptural pieces bring the high-end glamour of 1970s Hollywood Regency design directly to your fingertips. Styled after the clean-lined, luxurious animalier silhouettes popularized by Karl Springer, they are a masterclass in Mid-Century sophistication.
Crafted with stunning heavy-cast brass, these stylized gazelle heads feature magnificent, swept-back ribbed horns that catch the light beautifully from every angle. Rather than fading into the background, they serve as a statement of curation and sophisticated luxury. Their rich, warm golden patina has been gently preserved, adding authentic antique soul while effortlessly complementing a vibrant Dorothy Draper or Tony Duquette inspired jewel-toned interior. Whether anchoring a collection of art monographs or styling a grand mantlepiece, they turn a simple book stack into a striking moment of transformation.
