These are very unusual bookends. I have collected bookends for over 19 years and this is the only set of these I have ever seen or had. Nor can I find them in any of my antique and vintage bookend reference guides. They are guaranteed to be old, genuine and original. Art deco in style and origin, circa 1925, and measuring 6 inches tall and weighing 7 pounds the pair. They are made out of bronze, although they could be very thickly bronze plated brass, but I think bronze. They are unsigned by maker but very high quality. They show a griffin or gargoyle, that mythical creature part lion, part eagle and part dragon. Big wings, dragon or snake or serpent taill, and eagle head. It carries a ball in it's mouth and is very, very detailed. Lovely tiered and ornate bases and no damage. Very nice intact original antique patina. These really are a very rare set, dont' let them pass you by. Thanks for looking and please see my other auctions for more antique and vintage cast metal bookends and doorstops that I will combine on shipping whenever possible.
