JSG ESTATE LIQUIDATION

This handsome pair of gold-finished resin bookends features an elaborate nautical and cartographic tableau, making them a standout piece for any library, study, or home office. Each bookend is identically cast with a detailed armillary-style globe at center, flanked by a telescope, hourglass, rolled parchment scrolls with ball finials, and a tasseled map or diploma draped behind — all classic symbols of exploration and scholarship. The composition is rendered in a warm antique gold finish that evokes the look of aged brass or gilt bronze, a popular decorative style from the 1970s–1990s when this type of resin library accessory was widely produced. The relief detailing on the globe surface shows latitude and longitude grid lines along with embossed continental landmass outlines, demonstrating a high level of mold craftsmanship for a resin piece. Each bookend measures approximately 6 inches tall by 6 inches wide by 4 inches deep and carries substantial weight for a resin casting. No maker's marks are visible in the photos, which is typical of mass-produced decorative resin bookends of this era. Condition is Good overall; the gold finish shows areas of wear, scuffing, and paint loss particularly on the base edges and raised surfaces, consistent with age and use. Structurally sound with no chips or breaks observed; sold as a matched pair.
