About the Item

Striking Mid-Century Modern PM Craftsman Bronze-Clad Sailing Ship Bookends, circa 1970s. This striking pair of heavy, bronze-clad bookends was crafted by the renowned Philadelphia Manufacturing Company PM Craftsman. Capturing the spirit of high-seas adventure, each piece depicts a majestic sailing ship in full mast, navigating through dynamic, sculpted waves. Both bookends are in good vintage condition measuring approximately 2.5"D x 5.5"W x 5"H. The pieces feature a rich, aged patina that highlights the high-fidelity hand cast details, a signature of the skilled craftsmen at PM Craftsman. Designed to be both functional and decorative, these weighted bookends are ideal for securing a collection of maritime history or literature on a bookshelf, desk, or mantle. They represent a classic example of American Mid-Century nautical decor, perfect for adding a touch of traditional coastal elegance to a modern interior. #9097
