A stately pair of ornate gold bookends featuring laurel wreath motifs and detailed scrollwork, reminiscent of classical architectural finials. The antiqued gold finish adds warmth and sophistication, making these perfect for anchoring books on a shelf, console, or desk. Ideal for Neoclassical, traditional, or Hollywood Regency interiors. In very good vintage condition with light wear.
Collector’s Note: Decorative bookends with classical motifs became especially popular in the mid-20th century, drawing inspiration from Greco-Roman architecture. Pieces like this remain collectible for their sculptural quality and timeless design.
Staging Note: Style these on a dark wood bookshelf with leather-bound volumes for a refined library look, or pair with a small bust sculpture for an elegant vignette.
