Large Pineapple Bookend and Door Stop - Jefferson Brass

The pineapple has traditionally been recognized as the symbol of welcome and hospitality throughout America, and especially in Virginia. When the great clipper ships and merchant vessels of colonial days returned from their voyages bearing exotic fruits from the West Indies, captains and sailors alike would display a pineapple over their door as a sign to friends that they had returned home safely and that visitors were welcome.

The true insignia of gracious living, combining beauty, function and superior workmanship, this brass pineapple bookend made of solid brass is truly a performing work of art. Each brass bookend and doorstop is priced individually. Measures 10” x 5.5” Weighs 6.30 lbs!
