Description: This is a set of unique handmade decorative items that I inherited from a family member. It was most likely made in the 1940's because I recall that they said it was made while they were in high school. So, that would very accurately put the era of their creation in the 40's. This was originally made as a set of bookends, but because many people today no longer use bookends or have large home libraries, I am selling this set as wall decor. However, I am including the original metal bases that you can screw back onto the bottom of the wood and easily use them as bookends if you wish. My family did use them as bookends for many years and they were really pretty and distinctive. See photo showing how it is used as a bookend with a book. See also the photo showing the two metal pieces that are included if you wish to re-attach them to use as bookends. The charming set depicts artistic sailing boats on the water. The design is done in metal. I presume it is probably brass? I'm not 100% sure what the metal is. The metal panels are attached to the wood firmly and securely. Please see photo showing the dimension/measurements. If you decide to use these as wall art, you will have to create a simple hangar on the back, but that's simple to do. Condition: These are vintage rustic handmade items and as such, they have some minor flaws, and they aren't 100% "identical" in measurement as you would find with commercially created art . But that's the charm of this type of one of a kind and utterly unique materials. Mounted on a wall or used as bookends, these sailing ship pieces would look absolutely lovely and bring that unusual and personalized vision to your home decor. And isn't that what we all want? It's easy to go to a store and buy something off the shelf but that's not going to give your environment the special beauty of pieces like this! I guess you can tell, I'm passionate about vintage collectibles like this! This set would look great in a beach house, vacation cabin, or anywhere you want to give your home the personal touch. And this is TRUE vintage from the 1940's! I ship promptly in 1-2 business days and pack carefully. Thank you for looking at this very cool set of sailing ships!
