Designed by Ben Seibel for Jenfred-Ware, these clam bookends rise to a soft point, with fine ribs running from the peak to a rounded base like the ridges of a closed shell. The copper finish catches the light along each rib and darkens in the grooves between them. Seibel, an American industrial designer, produced metalwork and ceramics for Jenfred-Ware and Raymor through the 1950s and '60s. Both bookends keep their green felt bottoms and original "Ben Seibel design / Jenfred-ware" paper labels.
