A charming pair of antique bookends in bronze, each depicting a seated putto with softly modelled features and beautifully aged patina. The figures rest gracefully upon stepped stone plinths, creating an elegant contrast between the warm tones of the bronze and the cool solidity of the stone.
Likely dating to the 19th century, the sculptural composition lends these pieces both decorative presence and practical function, equally suited for a bookshelf, desk, or console.
