Vintage Brass Pelican Bookends on Marble Base — Pair

A striking pair of vintage brass bird bookends, sculptural in form and rich in detail. Each figure features an elongated, stylized beak and finely textured feathering, evoking a modernist, almost Art Deco–meets–brutalist sensibility. Cast in solid brass with a warm, aged patina, the birds are mounted on substantial dark green marble bases that provide both visual contrast and functional weight.

These bookends work beautifully as a matched pair flanking books on a shelf, credenza, or desk, but are equally compelling as standalone decorative objects. The design is bold yet refined—ideal for mid-century, eclectic, or modern interiors seeking a distinctive accent with character.
