1925 Arts and Crafts D. A. L. Bronzed Cat Bookends, Hard to find

  

A handsome pair of antique bronzed Arts and Crafts bookends by the Decorative Arts League, 1925. The Decorative Arts League formed around commercializing the Arts & Crafts Movement, focusing on accessories and furniture. Fascinating ads were printed in modern living magazines with coupons that allowed a householder to order COD the latest mode of lamp (for three dollars, fifty cents), small bookcase or, here, cast bronzed bookends. True artists created artisanal product lines. This pair, from a noted Dallas estate library, is the D.

"Cat" bookends, now extremely collectible. Copyrighted 1925, these are in wonderful condition, original patinated finish. If there was a felt bottom, it is gone. About 4"x 4", 2 deep. Perfect gift for any Craftsman bungalow re-do, book lover, cat enthusiast, collector.

Appreciating in value, these are hard to find in this condition (we're not sure they weren't originals to this Dallas library). The item "1925 Arts and Crafts D.

Bronzed Cat Bookends, Hard to find" is in sale since Sunday, May 31, 2020. This item is in the category "Collectibles\Decorative Collectibles\Bookends". The seller is "trellis" and is located in Dallas, Texas. This item can be shipped to United States. artisan
