AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Pair of North African-origin bookstops, made of solid bronze (2.4 kg each).

Almost certainly Grand Tour, they represent two winged sphinxes.

Both are in very good condition, without flaws, and with a beautiful patina.

Seller's Story

Antiques are my great passion; all the items I have on auction were found at antique fairs and antique shops mainly from the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal, a country with a centuries-old history and many fabulous pieces and objects from this long journey, which I present here for auction. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original, and obviously beautiful. Guarantee of quality and great care in the shipping of the items. Thank you.
