A charming pair of vintage maritime-themed bookends, crafted in rich, dark-stained hardwood and styled after nautical capstans with brass capstan bars. Each bookend features authentic rope detail coiled around the pillar stem, capturing a classic mid-20th-century seafaring aesthetic. Presents in good vintage condition showing age-appropriate character and wear. Notable surface scuffing, minor flaking, and rubbing to the dark lacquer finish across the wooden bases and central pillars. Brass capstan spokes display light oxidation and natural patina. Rope rigging is intact and firmly attached with mild discolouration consistent with age. Structure remains sturdy and functional. Dimensions: 13.5 cm H x 14.5 cm L x 8.5 cm W
