Description
Add a touch of mid-century character to your shelf with this pair of vintage solid brass bookends, designed in the style of a traditional Korean gate or pagoda arch. Each piece features brickwork details, a tiered roofline, and the Taeguk (yin-yang) crest above the archway.
Measurements (approx.): 5” tall x 4” wide
These bookends are stamped “MADE IN R.O.K.” (Republic of Korea) on the back — a marking seen on authentic mid-20th century Korean export goods, making them harder to find than later unmarked reproductions. Together they weigh nearly 2 pounds of solid brass, giving them both decorative appeal and sturdy functionality.
The surfaces show authentic age wear and patina, with areas of polish and darker spots that reflect their vintage character. This natural finish adds charm and speaks to their history, making them ideal for collectors or anyone seeking a unique accent with timeless style.
