Vintage Bookends Made From Antique Wood Letterpress Printing Blocks Rustic Style
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:20499251 | Featured Refinements: Vintage Bookend |
These vintage bookends were hand crafted using various sizes and styles of antique letterpress printers blocks. As monochromatic wood constructions, they have a primitive Louise Nevelson feel about them….
The blocks appear to be glued together and then screwed to a galvanized steel foot that is wrapped with felt.
Measurements: one is a bit taller and wider than the other. It measures approx 6-3/4” high x 5-1/2” wide x 7/8” thick. The foot extends 4” out from th...e back of the blocks.
Condition: naively crafted. I can see some glossy glue that was used to hold the blocks together. One has some strips of metal sandwiched between the blocks to fill in gaps.
