Perfect for a partners' desk: an American Art Nouveau desk-top book rack fitted with two letter racks—one on each end.  A "Wise Owl" presides from a pine branch while Nouveau "whiplashing" frames his feathered physique.  The two letter holders can fold-down for storage.  The book rack portion measures 12.5" long.  Made by Judd in the early Twentieth Century and finished with an aged brass patina.   (5" x 7.5" x 18.5")   da12842c
