These vintage bookends are a charming creation by the J.B. Hirsch company, showcasing both artistic craftsmanship and historical charm. Crafted from spelter, a metal alloy often used in decorative art, these bookends depict a young girl in colonial period attire, adding a touch of nostalgia to any setting.
The centerpiece of each bookend is the portrayal of the young girl. Dressed in an oxblood red gown and bonnet, she captures the essence of colonial fashion with a delightful attention to detail.
The girl is presented in a curtsying posture, a gesture that adds a sense of grace and politeness to the overall design. This detail not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also introduces a dynamic element to the bookends, making them more visually engaging.
The base of each bookend is composed of two pieces of alabaster that introduces a contrasting texture and color to the spelter figure. less
