AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pair of white marble bookends – 1900s, classic architectural taste
Important and refined pair of white marble bookends, expression of a fully eighteenth-century taste, where function meets architecture in an elegant and timeless synthesis. The shapes clearly recall elements of classical order, with side volutes inspired by the Ionic capital and a compact structure that yields balance, strength and visual harmony.
The marble, luminous and tactile, is traversed by delicate natural veins that enhance its authenticity and depth. The surface, smooth to the touch, reflects light with a discreet patina, a sign of an object that has withstood the test of time while maintaining its own charm.
The line is essential yet at the same time strongly scenographic: every element is designed to be observed from multiple angles, making these bookends not only functional but true pieces of furniture. Placed in a bookshelf, on a console or on a piano, they immediately define the space, evoking cultured environments, historic residences and atmospheres of European taste.
The proportions are harmonious and well balanced: each element measures about 18 cm in height, 6 cm in width and 9.8 cm in depth, with a total weight of the pair of 2.82 kg, a characteristic that guarantees stability and full functionality.
The condition is very good, with normal signs of time and light traces of use that do not affect the overall aesthetics, but rather help to enhance its history and material.
Objects of great presence, ideal for those seeking authentic elements capable of combining classicism, matter and function in a single decorative solution.
The photos are an integral part of the description. Guaranteed careful packaging entrusted to professionals in the field.
N.B. the books are not included in the sale.
