$95.00C Jere owl bookend signed RARE
This is a rare and wonderful original C Jere owl bookend made of brass. Just one bookend is available. Signed. Hard to read the date; it’s 1972 or 1978. It appears the previous owner tried to eradicate the signature!
According to Wikipedia: “C. Jeré is a compound pseudonym that was invented by the founders of Artisan House, Curtis Freiler and Jerry Fels, to market their products. The company was founded in 1963 and distributed by Raymor. Freiler was the production chief and Fels was head of design. Their goal was to produce “gallery-quality art for the masses.” Kurt and Jerry sold Artisan House in 1972.”
Hard to find retro modern owl bookend. Measures 5.25″ tall, 4½” wide. In very good condition with the only signs of age on the brass book support on the backside. C. Jere artwork is reproduced today by contemporary companies. Vintage C. Jere signatures usually include a date.
