What a fun, unusual and altogether adorable set of bookends! Made in the 1950s, and carved from Salt Stone, these hand painted bookends feature a boy figure on one and a girl on the other, each appearing to be totally captivated by their choices in reading materials. The designs on this set are done in shades of green and gold, set against an off-white background. These bookends are in good condition considering their advanced age. They have no chips, cracks, or repairs. Please look at all of my listing photos for an accurate view of the condition of these vintage pieces. Weighing in at an impressive 1-1/2 pounds each, these sturdy bookends can hold a stack of large books as well as a grouping of children's books. Each bookend measures 6" tall, 3-1/2" wide and 4-1/4" deep. Unmarked. Perfect for display or on your bookshelf. Perfect to use in a child's room or nursery. What an unusual and altogether adorable Set of Bookends! Fun and cool retro pieces for just about anywhere!
