The witty silhouette of these bookends lends a helping hand to books that are to be ended well. The design is typical of the Auböck family workshop, founded by Carl Auböck I more than a century ago. His son Carl II designed it in the 1950s and successive generations still manufacture it by hand at the original Vienna atelier. Please note, as these pieces are made and finished by hand, slight markings and imperfections may occur. These only add to their unique character.
