Marble & Brass Geometric Bookends | Italian Postmodern 1970s–80s
For shelves that prefer a bit of attitude…
These bookends are cool, sculptural, and immediately recognizable as Italian Postmodern design. They feature a stunning mix of black and green marble set against warm, patinated brass, creating a small but unforgettable statement.
The geometric, rounded half-dome silhouettes feel architectural, yet intimate, perfectly scaled as collectible design objects for an everyday bookshelf. Each piece is subtly one-of-a-kind thanks to the marble’s natural veining, delivering that perfect quiet-luxury energy that 1970s and '80s Italian studios absolutely mastered.

Black & Gold Condition Guide
✨ We believe every piece tells a story — here’s how we describe the chapters they’ve lived so far:
Mint / Like New Practically time-traveled. Looks as though it’s never been used. Crisp, clean, and flawless.
Excellent Well-preserved with only the most minor signs of age (think a faint scratch or two, visible only if you squint). Structurally sound and show-stopping.
Very Good Loved and cared for. Some small signs of wear — maybe light surface marks, gentle fading, or a touch of patina — but nothing that distracts from its beauty or function.
Good Has earned its character. Noticeable wear such as scratches, discoloration, or finish loss, all consistent with age and use. Still fully functional and fabulous.
Well-Loved / As-Is This one has stories to tell. Expect visible flaws or wear (chips, cracks, missing parts), but still worthy for display, repurposing, or as a collector’s gem.
