Beautiful Mid-Century Modern wood bookend rack made by JA Co. The tall, vertical slat design gives it a striking sculptural quality while remaining practical and minimalist — perfect for displaying books, albums, or art prints.
I'm selling them as a set because as we're shipping one it seems to make sense to ship two in the same box : )
Crafted from solid wood (oak and teak), this set of adjustable bookends is a super coolexample of mid-century craftsmanship that adds architectural interest to any office, studio, or modern interior. Each piece features expert joinery and a rich, warm finish.
Details
Maker: teak: JA Co. (label intact, marked “158”) oak: unknown
Era: Mid-Century Modern, c.1960s–70s
Material: Solid wood, likely oak and teak
Dimensions: 18 5/8" H × 5.5" W × 7" D and the shorter one is 17 x 6.5 x 6.5
Weight: ~2 lbs each and 4.2 lbs together
Condition: Excellent vintage condition — minimal wear, rich color, sturdy structure, adjustable with ease. They both present beautifully. The oak bookend piece sat a little off kilter (they're long and I'm sure over time the wood will start to adjust if there are no books in them or anything weighing them down) so I put some little plastic feet on that one so it sits right even where there aren't books in it. But you can easily remove them once you put the books on it.
