Highly collectible pair of antique art metal bookends manufactured by the prestigious Jennings Brothers Manufacturing Company of Bridgeport, Connecticut. These bookends are a beautiful, highly detailed 3D miniature replication of Daniel Chester French’s iconic monumental sculpture of Abraham Lincoln from the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.. Model / Catalog Number: 2440. Artist Credit: Stamped on the reverse lower edge: J. FRENCH”. Subject: Seated Abraham Lincoln / “Lincoln in the Chair. Material: Heavy cast white metal / art metal with a dark bronze-toned patina finish. Original protective felt pads remain fully intact on the bottoms. Dimensions: Approximately 7″ High x 4.75″ Wide x 4.25 Deep. Weight: Very substantial, heavy foundry castings approx. 5 lbs each / 10 lbs total. Comprehensive Condition Report: Please review all listing photos closely, as they serve as a vital part of the condition description. Structural Integrity: One bookend is completely solid with zero structural issues or loose joints. The second bookend features an internal factory casting joint that has loosened slightly over the years, giving the seated Lincoln figure a small wobble/shift within the chair base. The figure remains fully anchored and intact, but has play in the joint. Cosmetic Base Wear: There is a small, minor nick/chip on the front corner edge of one base which reveals a speck of the lighter base metal underneath. Patina Finish Loss: Authentic age-related wear is visible on the lower perimeter. There is a noticeable section of finish rubbing/loss along the lower base edges and lower sides where the darker coating has naturally worn down, beautifully exposing the underlying coppery/bronze metal undertones beneath. This is an exceptional, heavy set of premium American foundry history that looks spectacular on a bookshelf, desk, or library display.

Antique Bradley & Hubbard Bookends Greek Temple Acropolis Athena Porch Maidens. It is modeled after a front view of The Porch of the Caryatids, a large porch with six Ionic columns, and on the south, the famous “Porch of the Maidens”, with six draped female figures (caryatids) as supporting columns. The porch was built to conceal the giant 15-ft beam needed to support the southwest corner over the Kekropion, after the building was drastically reduced in size and budget following the onset of the Peloponnesian war. This is a part of The Erechtheion or Erechtheum; Ancient Greek:????????? , Greek:???????? an ancient Greek temple on the north side of the Acropolis of Athens in Greece which was dedicated to both Athena and Poseidon. Each measure 6 1/8″ long and 4 5/8″ tall; the pair weighs almost 6 pounds. Bronze finish on cast iron, typical for B&H. Good condition with a fine aged patina bronze finish.

Well, I don’t actually know that she is supposed to be Cleopatra, but she is sitting on the throne, wearing the pharaonic headress (and nothing else), so she must be the queen. She has her foot on a ball, representing sovereignty over the world. Probably mid-1920’s when the discovery of King Tut’s tomb in 1922 set off another wave of Egyptian Revivalism in the decorative arts. But she is my favorite of the various pharaoh bookends produced in that period. Bronze-clad, a manufacturing process by which a skin of bronze was deposited on a plaster form through electro-plating. A handful of companies used this method in the early 1900s to make decorative household objects that had the look, feel, and heft of solid bronze yet were still affordable by the middle class. No maker’s mark (there would have been foil labels on the bottoms) but my guess is P. Mori & Son, Inc, established in 1889 and operating in NYC under the trade name Galvano Bronze. No breaks in the cladding, no big dents, no mashed corners on the bases, just a few small dings and nicks. Paint is original and still mostly intact. Fun to note that on the piece on the right, the painter lost track of which decorative bands on the back of the throne got which colors. There is some chipping and wear consistent with age and use. Both pieces sit flat and stable. 7 inches tall; 4 1/4 inches across the base at the back; 3 1/2 inches front to back. Weighing 2 1/4 pounds EACH PIECE. Perfect gift for the dominatrix in your circle. I pack with care. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Decorative Collectibles\Bookends”. The seller is “joncris4q8″ and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped to United States.
