Another Great Auction
A pair of vintage hand-carved wooden elephant bookends. Each bookend features a stylized, organic elephant figure with its trunk curled, supporting a tall, curved back panel. The design exhibits a folk art or artisan aesthetic, with visible carving marks and an abstracted form. The material is a dense, dark hardwood, displaying variations in grain and natural lighter wood tones in areas, likely from the wood itself or wear to the finish. One bookend has a faint, incised initial-like mark, possibly ‘C.H.’ or ‘G.H.’, on its side near the base.
Height: 9 inches
