Vintage Hand-Painted Porcelain Boy Girl Bookends, Marble Bases, Gold Accents

$98.00
These are the kind of bookends that make someone stop mid-sentence and ask where you found them. The hand-painted porcelain figures, gold accents, and genuine marble bases bring elegance, personality, and just enough unexpected charm to a bookshelf, office, library, lawyer's cabinet, or collected home.

This matched vintage pair features a porcelain boy and girl posed on solid marble bases with protective cork bottoms. Their softly painted details, gold-painted feet, and delicate gold accents give them the look of small decorative sculptures while the substantial stone bases make them functional enough to support books.

Item details: Subject: matched porcelain boy-and-girl figurine bookends. Maker or brand: unmarked. Era: vintage, exact decade unknown. Origin: unknown. Style: romantic traditional decor, Hollywood Regency influence, and collected-library styling. Materials: porcelain or ceramic figures, genuine marble, cork, hand-painted finish, and gold accents. Measurements: each is approximately 6 in tall, 4 in wide, and 4.5 in deep. Each weighs approximately 712 grams. Includes: two matching bookends. Use and function: substantial decorative bookends for novels, cookbooks, records, office shelves, a home library, or any bookshelf that needs something more interesting than plain blocks.

Condition: Beautiful vintage condition with age-appropriate wear. Any chip, crack, repair, finish wear, marble edge wear, cork wear, or other issue visible during final inspection will be photographed and disclosed before the listing is published. Please review every image before purchasing.

Packaging: Each bookend will be wrapped separately with the porcelain figures and marble corners protected. The pair will be immobilized inside the same shipping carton so the stone bases cannot strike one another. Reusable and recycled packing materials may be used when they provide the safest protection.

The Wander House sourcing story: Every piece is found by me in person at estate sales, old homes, dusty garages, sheds, and the forgotten corners where worthwhile objects are still waiting. I do not buy ready-to-resell inventory from resale apps. I bring each piece home, clean it, inspect it, research it, photograph it, and choose it because I can still see the life it has left. Prices are kept fair so these pieces can move on, while still helping them reach someone who will value what made them worth saving.
