Vintage Motorcycle Bookends

Why it caught our eye

Some vintage finds are useful. Others are conversation pieces. These rather wonderful motorcycle bookends manage to be both.

Crafted in mixed materials with an aged metal finish, warm wood details, and an extraordinary amount of miniature mechanical character, the pair forms a motorcycle divided neatly between two bookends. Look closely and you’ll find spoked wheels, fenders, handlebars with wooden grips, a shaped wooden saddle, pedals, chain and sprocket, and even a tiny rear luggage rack.

There’s something decidedly old-school about them—the sort of object that looks perfectly at home on a mahogany desk among leather-bound books, motoring memorabilia, and the accumulated treasures of a life well lived.

And for the man who is impossible to buy for? We may have just found the answer.
