A charming pair of antique Chinese soapstone bookends dating to the 1920s, each intricately carved with flowering branches emerging from a classical planter. The openwork foliage and blossoms create a sculptural, almost architectural quality, while the softly mottled cream, rose, and plum tones reveal the natural character of the stone.
Their petite scale makes them especially appealing for holding a selection of favorite books on a library table, desk, mantel, or built-in shelf. Equally at home in an English country interior or a layered Chinoiserie room, the pair offers an understated note of color, craftsmanship, and history.
Dimensions: 4.13ʺ W × 1ʺ D × 5.13ʺ H each
Materials: Hand-carved soapstone
Period and style: Chinese, circa 1920s; Art Deco and Chinoiserie influence
Condition: Good original vintage condition with minor surface wear and a few small chips consistent with age and use. Please refer to the photographs. Overall, the set presents beautifully.
