This pair of bookends dating back to the 1980s represents a perfect example of office objects with a modernist taste. The juxtaposition of hot and cold materials makes this composition an ideal piece of modern antiques for collectors or those looking for a sought-after vintage detail for their library. Each bookend is composed of a black lacquered wooden corner structure that supports a small terrestrial globe. The globes are made of aluminum with a satin finish and feature hand-engraved parallels, meridians, and continent names on the surface. The geometric combination between the dark bases and the metallic sheen of the spheres reflects the essential style typical of late twentieth-century period design. A great opportunity to organize your volumes elegantly or to give an exclusive and professional character to a desk or day bookcase.
