Wedding Child Single Bookend Nuart Circa 1930

Updated August 6, 2026

A bookend with a fanciful depiction of a little boy with a bouquet of flowers for his little girlfriend. The casting is very detailed and deep. The cast gray metal bookend has been given antique copper patina. The back of the bookend has a textured molding. The felt is missing from most of the base, revealing the gray metal interior. There is the molded mark of NUART CREATIONS NY on the lower back, with MADE IN USA in the center of the mark. MEASUREMENTS 4 ¼" (10.8 cm) long x 3 ¼" (8.3 cm) wide x 5 ½" (14.0 cm) tall. Weighs 2 lbs 5.3 oz (1060 g) CONDITION There is a hole near the boy's back foot. It is not visible from the front. There are a couple of patina losses on the back lower edge, but otherwise the aged copper patina is in very good condition. The bookend is missing the base felt. A fun, old bookend to add to your collection. Period: 1930s Origin: United States Materials: Metal Dimensions: 4.75"W × 3.25"D × 5.5"H
