The ultimate bookcase styling accessory! This striking & rare metal rope and tassel bookend is a show stopping piece. It’s a larger piece measuring 7 inches tall, 7 inches deep and 5.5 inches wide. It is stamped ITALY. It has fantastic patina from its years of use. I personally would keep it just as it is but it can be spray painted if a more polished look is desired. A truly wonderful addition to the well curated home!
