Description

Brass “The Thinker” Bookends on Onyx Bases – Maker Marked, Italy

Pair of vintage brass bookends depicting “The Thinker,” each resting on a polished onyx base. The sculptural figures are marked ©1928 and mounted on natural cream-toned onyx with warm veining. Bases retain portions of the original Imported Italian Onyx label, and the undersides are finished with green felt for surface protection.

An elegant and substantial decorative set combining classical artistry with mid-century craftsmanship. Books shown are for illustration only.


Condition

Good overall condition with moderate finish wear to brass, small edge and corner chips to onyx throughout, and one label partially absent. Maker marked and structurally sound; felt remains affixed on the bottoms.
