Title:
Large Vintage Carved Alabaster/Marble Horse Head Bookends - 21cm, 7kg - c. 1970s

Description:
A magnificent and imposing pair of vintage horse head bookends, dating back to the 1970s. These pieces are beautifully hand-carved with great attention to detail, capturing the powerful anatomy and elegant mane of the horses.

Unlike lighter modern imitations, this set is crafted from genuine, heavy solid stone (alabaster/marble) with a beautiful natural veining and a warm, classic patina. Both sculptures are mounted on solid marble bases, making them extremely sturdy and perfectly functional for holding large or heavy books.

An exceptional and timeless decorative set, perfect for a classic library, office, or mid-century modern living room.
