Pair of vintage alabaster bookends – horse head sculptures – decorative sculpture – 1960s–1970s

The pieces combine a solid geometric base with an organic figure, creating a visually very attractive balance. The alabaster, with its warm tone and natural veining, provides an elegant and timeless finish, highly valued in 20th-century decorative objects.
