There’s a quiet elegance to these Art Deco Setter bookends that makes them feel less like desk accessories and more like small sculptures. Produced by the Jennings Brothers Manufacturing Co. in the 1920s, each dog is modeled with that unmistakable Deco balance of sleek form and fine detail. The long muzzle, attentive gaze, and beautifully textured ears give the pair a sense of calm watchfulness.
Cast in metal and finished in a rich, dark patina, both are embossed underneath with the Jennings Brothers mark “JB 856.” Jennings Brothers was known for its quality metalwork. Rather than being churned out as simple utilitarian objects, they were produced using a labor-intensive casting process that allowed for the depth and sculptural detail you see here.
Measures 7.5" W × 4" D × 6.5" H.
