This fantastic set of antique Jennings Brothers bookends depicts a stern Dante and his beautiful Beatrice. A rare Jennings Brothers find with a green polychrome paint finish, these vintage bookends would make a super gift for the literature buff or a dramatic statement on your library shelf.
Founded in Bridgeport, Connecticut in 1890, the Jennings Brothers foundry was known for high-quality, hand-finished castings. The bookends are finely made with detailed, expressive faces.

The green polychrome paint is scratched off and worn in places, most notably on the figures's noses and on the back of Dante. The tip of Beatrice's nose is flatten. The bookends have been dusted but have not been given a deep cleaning. less
