Vintage Hand Carved Wooden Ebonised Bookends, Stylised Tribal Figural Busts
A striking pair of vintage hand-carved wooden bookends, carved as stylised figural busts with strong facial features and textured hair detail. The sculptural form and rich dark patina give these bookends a powerful, decorative presence, making them as much works of art as functional pieces.
Likely mid-20th century in date, these bookends show influence from African or tribal-inspired modernist carving, popular in interior design during the period. They display beautifully from all angles and work equally well on a bookshelf, desk, or as standalone sculptural objects.
Crafted from solid wood with a deep, aged finish, both pieces have pleasing weight and stability. A superb decorative pair that would suit a wide range of interiors, from eclectic and bohemian to mid-century modern.
Condition:
Good vintage condition overall with expected age-related wear, surface marks, and minor variations consistent with hand carving and age. No breaks or repairs noted.
Measure approx 13cm high x 10cm wide
A distinctive and characterful pair of vintage bookends – decorative, collectible, and highly displayable.
Carefully packed for safe delivery.
