10.5" H x 3" W x 3" D
A substantial and well-crafted antique brass bookend designed as a classical urn with a gadrooned body, foliate detailing, and an acorn finial, all resting on a square plinth base. What sets this apart is the engraved inscription on the base reading "Tyneside Scottish," a reference to the battalions formed during World War I, primarily composed of Scottish communities in the Tyneside region of England. The bas-relief panels on the plinths depict military iconography, reinforcing their connection to the regiment. Likely produced as commemorative piece carrying historical significance, possibly serving as a tribute to the soldiers who served in these battalions.
Condition:
Very good antique condition with a well-aged patina that enhances their character. Some minor surface wear and oxidation consistent with age, but no structural damage. The relief details remain sharp, and the base is stable.
