Crafted from highly prized, solid Brazilian rosewood, the bookends possess a deep, warm luster that serves as a perfect backdrop for the intricate details. The front of each bookend is adorned with two beautiful jade medallions, each one carved with bamboo and flowers. A pair of golden brass bats hovering in the corners, incised with fine details of their eyes and wings. This combination is a classic theme in Chinese art, symbolizing good fortune and prosperity. The bookends are securely mounted on solid brass bases, which are fully engraved with more florals and foliage, creating a cohesive and visually rich design from top to bottom. See less
