STORY 
These sculptural deer bookends are a strong example of mid-century Brutalist design, where raw materials, bold forms, and expressive texture took precedence over ornament. Cast in heavy metal with deeply worked surfaces, they reflect a period interest in nature rendered through a deliberately rugged, architectural lens.

DETAILS 
- Circa 1960s - 1970s
- Cast metal construction with matte black finish 
- Stylized deer figures with pronounced antlers 
- Solid bases with angled book supports 
- Sold as a matching pair 
- Wear consistent with age and use

SIZE 
Approximately 7.5" High x 6.5" Wide

WHY IT WORKS 
Their sculptural Brutalist form adds contrast and depth to shelves and bookcases, especially when paired with leather-bound books or softer materials like linen and ceramics. Graphic yet grounded, these bookends introduce a strong visual anchor without overpowering a space.
