Description
Archimede Seguso Turquoise and Gold Apple Bookend
Handmade 1950’s art glass from Italy. The Seguso glass house made sets of bookends with apples and pears. This is the apple bookend only.
Three pounds of cased glass with intentional bubbles, gold aventurine and applied stem and leaf. The outer layer is colorless with the controlled bubbles and bits of gold foil on the leaf. The inner glass is turquoise, laden with gold specs. Beautiful effect.
The base is polished flat and one side is polished flat to sit against the books. The base has heavy bottom-wear from surface contact, this is expected. There is no damage or other signs of age. Perfect apple.
Measures 5″ wide – 13½” diameter, 4.25″ tall, weighs 3 lbs. Designed by Archimede Seguso, circa 1950s’.
