Fantastic vintage solid brass teddy bear bookends. Both are in excellent condition with no dents, damage or repairs. I have painted them in a gloss metallic hammered black color as an ohmage to Jeff Koons. Thought they would be the perfect subject as the look similar in style to his work. They have been also given a clear Lacquer top coat so that there will be no chipping or fading in paint color. I have also added an industrial grade rubber backing to the entire backsides, so they can be staged sitting up or with their legs up and can hold just about any weight of books without slipping. Great pop art set perfect for any décor. Book not included.

Dolbi Cashier was founded in 1978 and was a trade/brand name of Gallery House Inc, Illinois. They specialized in decorative accessories and was owned by Ed Shulman who created design ideas. He oversaw the Gallery House artists work of his creations for a range of high quality and sometimes ‘individual’ pieces of stylish brass art sculptures and other home furnishings, which were then sold from a showroom inside Merchandise Mart Plaza in Chicago to various high-end department stores and interior designers. The Sultan of Brunei once visited Merchandise Mart and spent $1.6 million on furnishings for his palace.
