{"product_id":"bookends-hammered-steel-bookends-pair","title":"Bookends: Hammered Steel Bookends, Pair","description":"\u003cp\u003eA striking collection of four matching bookends (two complete sets) capturing the rustic, handmade beauty of the early 20th-century Arts and Crafts movement. Formed from heavy gauge sheet steel with a dark, textured charcoal finish, each piece is hand-riveted with five geometric, four-petal floral rosettes crafted from contrasting polished copper. These structural pieces ground modern bookshelves beautifully, adding raw texture and historical charm when styling thick hardcover biographies, classic literature, or leather-bound anthologies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis design relies on the principles of the early 20th-century metalwork movement, highlighting visible joinery, hand-hammered detailing, and contrasting mixed metals. The base material is industrial steel sheets that have been cold-formed and hand-rolled along the arched perimeter edge, showing minor artisanal tool variances across the four panels. The underside of the base plate features an authentic pressed shield-shaped hallmark bearing the clear registry text \"Form Style\" cantered around a stylized \"S\". This maker mark represents mid-20th-century boutique architectural hardware and desk accessory production, prioritizing geometric simplicity over ornate embellishment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal Intended Use: Desktop and library book support. Alternate Suggested Use: Architectural mantle ornaments or styling dividers for vinyl record collections.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shift2ThriftVintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46991003648198,"sku":"Listing 077-August-2026","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/2163\/2198\/files\/Listing077-July-2025_PairofVintageBookendswithHammeredSteelandCopperFlowers01.webp?v=1788063171","url":"https:\/\/shift2thriftvintage.co.za\/products\/bookends-hammered-steel-bookends-pair","provider":"Shift2ThriftVintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
