A timeworn pair with painterly charm. These floral bookends feel plucked from an old study where roses never wilted.
Made to hold stories and still doing just that.

This pair of vintage bookends is richly evocative, featuring hand-painted florals on soft, worn leather panels. Each panel is detailed with scattered pink roses and delicate greenery, bordered by metallic studwork for a touch of early 20th-century flair. The painted leather fronts are mounted to sturdy wooden forms with dark metal bases and a coarse linen reverse.

The floral fronts appear to be genuine leather with a warm patina and signs of age that only add to their soulful presence. One bookend shows some light cracking in the leather, the other remains smoother. They are well-balanced and functional, and add just the right note of old-world storytelling to your shelf or mantel.
