Delightful Pair of Antique Bronze Elephant Bookends – Heavy Cast, Circa 1920s
A charming and highly decorative pair of solid cast bronze elephant bookends, dating from the 1920s. Exceptionally heavy and well-made, this delightful duo weighs over 2.6 kg, giving them real presence and ensuring excellent stability on any bookshelf or desk.
Each elephant is finely cast with impressive detail, capturing the character and movement of the animal beautifully. Their rich patination adds depth and warmth, with one bookend displaying a slightly darker finish—typical for antique bronze and adding to their individual charm.
Although unmarked, the quality of the casting suggests they were produced by a skilled foundry. These bookends make a wonderful decorative accent for any interior style, from traditional to eclectic, and are especially appealing to collectors of animal bronzes, Art Deco pieces, or desk accessories.
