Stunning, rare and meaningful bookends from the 1800s. If only the rarest and the best condition griffin-related antiques are fit for your collection then this pair of hand crafted bronze bookends should be on your shortlist. The striking design and the symbolism in this pair of antiques, is what makes them so much more than just bookends. Griffins symbolise the rule over the earth & sky. Their eagle heads representing the sky and their lionesk bodies and legs representing the earth. It will be no surprise therefor that, at the same time, they also symbolise AND are also the guardians of the divine/godly power. Since the ancient Griffin symbol is found in, among others, Greek mythology and in Arab and Asian folklore, it is clear why these worldly symbols also are perfect for bookends. Besides their deeper meaning, in these bookends they have also been presented in the best possible workmanship quality and patina and they will look great no matter where and how you decide to have them on display.
