ANTIQUE FISHERMEN BOOKENDS or DOORHOLDERS, Cast Iron Hand-Painted Atlantic Maritimes, 1920's. There are many old cast iron fishermen on the market today for sale, but there isn't a more lovely looking pair of gentlemen than this pair...they just speak volumes!
These are perfectly cast and show original hand-painting in brilliant yellows and deep blacks. They both have a full length 5-knot netting, and each of their faces have that true East Coast Spirit! There's some tiny nicks and minor chips in the paint, but nothing serious, and it's rare they look this good, considered many got kicked around on the floor, to the door. A perfectly matched pair to adorn your home or cottage for decades to come.ย Made in Canada.
