Stunning Vintage Brass Sculptural Bookends by Ben Seibel
These vintage brass sculptural bookends by Ben Seibel epitomize the designer’s mastery of organic modernism. Seibel, a prolific American industrial designer of the mid-20th century, was known for his ability to merge function with fluid, sculptural forms. His work—spanning ceramics, furniture, and metal objects—often carried the influence of Brancusi and Arp, bringing biomorphic elegance into everyday objects.
The curved, openwork silhouette of these bookends creates a striking interplay of negative space and solidity, while the warm patina of the brass enhances their timeless appeal. Originally produced by Jenfred Ware, a brand synonymous with Seibel’s sophisticated yet utilitarian designs, these bookends remain a coveted collector’s piece. Now part of the Lemieux Et Cie Vintage Collection, they offer a touch of mid-century artistry—where form and function exist in perfect harmony.
Item is available now for local pick up, in our Atelier located at 14 Crosby Street. We can also arrange for delivery within the USA. Â
