Available for purchase is a stunning, highly detailed matching pair of vintage Egyptian Revival bookends designed by famed Italian sculptor Arnaldo Giannelli. Both pieces are clearly incised with the "A. Giannelli" signature and dated 1993 on the reverse.
Crafted in Volterra, Italy using high-quality bonded alabaster/marble, these substantial bookends depict an Egyptian Pharaoh (King Khafre) seated majestically on a throne flanked by traditional hieroglyphic-style details. They feature a beautiful matte cream finish that highlights the intricate sculptural details, mounted on a solid matching base. They are quite heavy and easily capable of holding up a large row of books.
