Description
A pair of cast metal bookends, depicting figures in the thoughtful pose reminiscent of Rodin's "The Thinker." Each figure is seated on a rocky outcrop, with one hand supporting their chin in contemplation. The bookends have a gilt bronze finish with some intentional antiquing and natural wear, consistent with their age. The underside of each bookend is covered with a felt pad to prevent scratching surfaces. These decorative and functional pieces would add a touch of classical artistry to any study or library. Likely produced in the mid-20th century.
