Gimbaled Brass Compass on Wooden Bookend Stand

This elegant navigation-themed decor piece features a polished brass gimbaled compass mounted on a rich wooden base designed in the form of a bookend. The compass is suspended in a double gimbal mechanism, allowing it to remain level regardless of the base's orientation—an attribute historically vital for maritime navigation. The wood is accented with polished brass corner inlays, enhancing its vintage nautical appeal and durability. Ideal for use as a decorative bookend, desk accessory, or collectible for maritime enthusiasts.
