BRASS BOOKENDS ridged Dhokra is non–ferrous metal castingThis listing is for a fabulous, beachy chic Hollywood Regency brass seashell set dating to the 1950s. The are in wonderful vintage condition with minor brass patina, lending to their age and charm. Please note that there is a little "hole" in the side of one shell, which would never be noticed, if facing the back of a bookshelf (see last photo). They measure 5" wide x 3" deep x 4" tall.
