As a child, I had a Ringling Brothers circus poster on my bedroom wall. A fierce lion—paw raised—snarled from the colorful print. This pair of Art Deco cast iron bookends remind me of that LEO from my boyhood. These bookends were made in the Twenties or Thirties. They are beautifully (and intricately) modeled, nicely cast and finished with a (now aged) dark patina. They await employment in your office or library—or standing upon your mantel or windowsill where they will snarl silently (yet fiercely). Click on the photo above to learn more about these handsome LEOs.
More handsome LEOs tomorrow and in the days to come.
