Vintage 1970 Syroco Scottie Dog Resin Bookends Rustic Farmhouse Carved Wood Pair
This charming pair of vintage Syroco Scottie Dog bookends features the warm, rustic aesthetic that made the brand a favorite in American home décor. Crafted from solid resin stained to resemble hand-carved wood, each bookend depicts a sweet Scottie dog standing before a picket fence with a cobblestone base and floral detailing. The textured surfaces, deep brown finish, and storybook-style design make this set ideal for farmhouse, cottagecore, rustic, and Americana-themed interiors.
Syroco, short for Syracuse Ornamental Company, was founded in 1890 in Syracuse, New York. The company became known for its innovative production method that began with compressed wood pulp, resin binders, and fillers, which were press-molded from original hand-carved masters and then hand-finished with paint, stain, or gilt. This technique created richly detailed pieces that mimicked traditional carved wood at an accessible price.
By the 1970s–1980s, Syroco transitioned to polyresin and injection-molded plastics, allowing for lighter yet durable home décor pieces that retained the brand’s signature carved-wood appearance. This pair of bookends dates to the 1970s, reflecting the later resin era with its warm brown finish, crisp molded details, and sturdy, functional construction.
Both decorative and practical, these Syroco bookends bring personality and vintage charm to any shelf or display.
