Pair 19th Century French Renaissance Wood Carvings ~ Bookends

Pair 19th Century French Renaissance Wood Carvings ~ Bookends make great decorative architectural accents all unto themselves, or they could be put to a more utilitarian purpose in the bookcase!  Classically depicted lions emanating from a scrolled, acanthus-embellished foundation take center stage, rendered from solid blocks of old-growth oak.  Set upon multiple tiers of molding which forms a pediment, each is wondrous to behold from any angle!
Circa 1850s
