Vintage Bronze Bookends – “The Pioneers” by Pompeian Bronze Co. – 1920s Industrial Art Deco Decor

Honor American heritage and craftsmanship with this rare pair of vintage bronze bookends titled “The Pioneers”, produced by the Pompeian Bronze Company in the early 20th century. These heavy cast metal bookends feature a beautifully detailed relief of two pioneer figures — one pointing toward a developing industrial city, the other tilling the land — symbolizing vision, labor, and the building of a nation.

Each piece is finished in a rich golden patina with subtle original color accents, adding character and warmth. The backs are stamped “The Pioneers – Compliments of E.M. Gee”, with the Pompeian Bronze Co. mark and copyright information.

These are not only collectible pieces of Art Deco era desk art, but functional bookends perfect for home libraries, offices, or Americana-themed decor.
