This listing is for a vintage pair of praying hands bookends made of cast metal with a bronze-tone finish. They are a matching left and right pair with factory-stamped numbers 7379 and 7380, indicating original production as a set.
These bookends feature detailed sculpted hands on square weighted bases. The underside retains original green felt, though it shows age-related wear. The metal shows typical patina, finish wear, and surface variation consistent with vintage cast metal pieces.
Material appears to be cast spelter (zinc alloy) with a bronze wash finish, which was commonly used for decorative bookends in the mid-20th century.
Details:
• Matching numbered pair: 7379 & 7380
• Cast metal with bronze-tone finish
• Original felt bottoms (worn)
• Vintage condition with normal age-related wear
• Sold as a pair
These make a nice decorative or religious accent for a shelf, desk, or bookcase and are a classic vintage bookend design.
