Vintage Onyx Trojan Horse Head Bookends, Pair, Cream & Rust Banded

A sculptural pair of carved stone bookends, formed as stylized Trojan horse heads and cut from banded onyx (calcite) with warm rust and cream veining.

The natural variation in the stone gives each piece a distinct graphic presence, while the pair reads as balanced and architectural when placed together. The banding shifts subtly across the surface, creating a quiet sense of movement within an otherwise grounded form.

Substantial in weight and stable in use, they function easily as bookends, though they stand just as well as sculptural objects.

Likely dating to the mid 20th century.

Condition

Very good vintage condition with minor wear consistent with age. Felted bases.
