Beautifully rendered in softly veined, light-toned alabaster, these sculptural pieces highlight the natural translucency and variation of the stone. The stylized birds feature elegant curves and subtle detailing, giving them a refined yet playful presence.
Each bookend is etched “Italy” on the underside and measures approximately 5” tall, with a base of 2” x 2.75”. Substantial in weight, they function well as bookends while also serving as decorative objects on a shelf or tabletop.
Condition reflects age and use. One bird shows damage to the crown and beak; overall wear is consistent with vintage alabaster. The pieces remain stable and visually charming, with the natural beauty of the stone still prominent.
A characterful and decorative pair—ideal for adding a touch of Italian craftsmanship and whimsy to a space.
