Carrying a very early version of the standard Revere Company mark, this juniper and chrome Scroll Bookend was patented on June 4, 1935. Designed by company in-house designer Fred. D. Farr, this Scroll design was used in a variety of Revere products, ranging from the original Scroll bookend shown here to a magazine stand. This carries the original Pat Design No. 93811, dating from 1935. It also carried the name of Berry's Arts & Crafts Shop, 1223 FOURTH Ave. Seattle, WA. and an original label which states GENUINE OREGON JUNIPER.
There is some scuffing to the varnished juniper wood half moon base, as can be expected by something from the Art Deco period of the 1930s. The chrome itself is in great shape with no pitting. There are some light wear marks, but no damage to the chrome finish. Wouldn't this piece look great on a Art Deco Bar or bookshelf? It measures six inches long and stands 4 inches tall.
It is shown on page 162 of the Linz Art Deco chrome book with its original patent design shown as well. A great find! Add it to your Revere Art Deco collection today! |
