Bookends horses in pewter

Charming pair of bookends featuring horse heads with a lovely green patina, made of spelter in the 1950s, resting on rectangular black marble bases. These pieces are appealing for their both understated and expressive look, highlighting the fine modelling of the horses: elegant neck, intricately crafted harness details, and a beautiful decorative presence. The patina of the spelter, in deep tones, emphasises their character and authenticity. The contrast between the metal and the black marble adds a chic and timeless touch, ideal for a library, an office, or a console. These bookends fit well in both classic and contemporary or eclectic interiors. Overall good condition. Horses in very good condition. Some stains and signs of use on the marble bases, consistent with age, without compromising the solidity or aesthetics of the whole. A decorative and functional pair, perfect for lovers of vintage objects and equestrian themes.
