Antique Polychrome Painted Bookends Dante & Beatrice Art Deco Divine Comedy
Antique Polychrome Painted Bookends Dante & Beatrice
I don't' know many details about this lovely set of bookends other than what was shared with me.
They were purchased by a husband and wife at an antique shop on the North Shore of Chicago at least a half century ago.
Being that she was an artist and he a wood carver (both avid readers), it was the perfect purchase! These bookends must have good karma, the couple were married over 70 years! Perhaps they'd make a thoughtful wedding gift?
The nitty gritty -
Approximately 7" tall X  3" wide X 6.5" long
Very heavy - not sure what material is under the paint.
Several areas of cracking and chipping of paint and an area of repair on Dante.
That being said....they have a beautiful patina and radiate charm to one who loves The Divine Comedy.

This Chick's Story
My fascination with treasure hunting started when I was producing and directing musical productions.  I was in a thrift store looking for costume pieces when I spotted a
cute skirt for myself.  I got so
many compliments on my skirt, that
I began to shop almost exclusively at thrift stores.  People were always asking me where I got this or that, so I decided to try to resell some of my finds, and
On The Cheep
was "hatched" !  I soon found myself venturing into estate sales and added unique items for the home as well.  I hope you enjoy browsing through my store!
