Vintage pair of puppy dog bookends. Painted metal. Made circa 1920-40. 

Measurements:

Measure 6 1/4 inches high; 4 1/4 inches front to back each.

Description:

Delightfully whimsical, this vintage pair of painted metal bookends captures the endearing curiosity of playful pups. Each piece features a trio of puppy dogs—stacked one atop the other—standing on their hind legs as they eagerly peek over a faux marble wall. Cast in metal and painted in a muted green hue, the figures exude nostalgic charm and character from the early 20th century.

Mounted on faux marble bases with coordinating vertical walls. The craftsmanship is evident in the detailed expressions and playful composition of the puppies, who appear to wiggle and squeeze for a better view.

Condition:

Gentle wear consistent with age, including minor paint loss and edge wear on the faux marble, but overall in good, display-worthy condition. A heartwarming and conversation-starting accent for any bookshelf, desk, or dog lover’s collection.  Please see 'photos and don't hesitate to ask questions which we will do our best to answer.
