Bookends (2) - Alabaster

Mid-Century Alabaster Book Supports – Handmade in Italy (1960s/1970s)
A beautiful, rare pair of decorative book supports from the Mid-Century Modern era (Space Age style).
The pieces stand out with their minimalist, geometric design and the combination of bold shapes and colors.
Details:
Material & Origin: The square bases are made of real, finely grained alabaster ("Genuine Alabaster").
Made in traditional hand craftsmanship in Italy ("Hand Carved in Italy").
Original Seal: On the underside you’ll find the original blue-gold manufacturer certificate label – a true provenance for collectors!
Design: A translucent, vividly yellow sphere sits atop a light, slightly translucent alabaster block.
An absolute eye-catcher on a shelf or at the desk.
Condition (please note & see photos):
Authentic vintage condition with age-related signs of wear.
One base shows a more pronounced chip in one of the upper corners (chip/defect in the stone).
There are isolated, smaller nicks (tiny chips) and material-specific scratches on the edges and surfaces.
No deep cracks in the stone; stability is fully intact. The traces give the pieces genuine vintage character.
A perfect design object for lovers of retro style, vintage interiors, and elegant stone works!
They will be carefully prepared and packed for shipment.
