Antique

Set of 2

Exactly As Pictured

A rather handsome squire stands guard at either end of the shelf. These cast iron Squire bookends, from the 19th century and sourced from central France, once served a very different role, holding logs steady in the grand hearths of old kitchens. Now, Sylvie enlists this noble figure to keep her stacks of well-loved books perfectly in line.
