A PAIR OF BOOKENDS FROM FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT`S LIBRARY
"A fine and unusual Presidential item, a pair of bookends from the library of Franklin D. Roosevelt! These unique items are fashioned from two nineteenth-century, leather-bound French with gilt lettering to spine whose pages have been glued together, and metal book-end plates covered in handsome marbleized paper inserted into the bottom of each volume to create a bookend. The volumes are two volumes of Histoire de Louis XII. Purchased by us at Christie's historic Franklin D. and Eleanor Roosevelt estate sale, Feb. 14, 2001. Overall very good, with a bit of leather loss to one spine." 2375 A fine and unusual Presidential item, a pair of bookends from the library of Franklin D. Roosevelt!
