AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This pair of bookends from the second half of the 20th century combines decorative elegance with functionality. Each piece consists of a polished wooden base with clean, sober lines, upon which a silver horse head is mounted, modeled with detail and expression.
The equine figures, with stylized bridles and manes, evoke strength and nobility, and are crafted in silver-colored metal with a shiny finish, contrasting with the warmth of the wood. The design is symmetrical, intended to frame a row of books with sculptural presence.
These bookends reflect the decorative taste of the mid-20th century, where the mix of noble materials and reinterpretations of classical motifs with a modern flair was valued. Their condition is good, and their aesthetic makes them versatile pieces, ideal for libraries as well as equestrian or vintage-style spaces.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
