A heavy, vintage pair of Stanford University mascot-themed bookends in cast metal with a dark patina and warm bronze/brass-toned highlights. Each features a stylized historic Stanford mascot figure within an arched architectural frame with small rosette details—great statement pieces for a bookshelf, office, or alumni display.
Stanford University was founded in 1885 by Leland and Jane Stanford in memory of their son, and it opened to students in 1891 in Stanford, California.

I aim to please, and describe every item to the best of my ability. But please note that my vintage items often received frequent use back in their day, so may show visible signs of wear and age. Personally, I wouldn't have it any other way, as I treasure those marks of the past.
