Antique Carved Soapstone Bookends with Chinese Figures and Teapot Detail

About the Item

Handsome and intricately carved Chinese soapstone bookends depicting Asian seated figures and teapot detail. They are in wonderful antique condition. They do have nicks and chipping and veining which only enhances their lovely patina, circa early 20th century. This lovely pair of bookends will perfectly grace your home no matter your decorating style. Each is carved with a seated Chinese figure and a teapot detail. However, they are not identical. Each figure is posed differently as is the teapots’ placement. They do both have smiling serene faces and are holding either an instrument or maybe a scroll. We believe them to be at least from the early 20th century but could be older. They are simply exquisite. You must make them yours. Bookends Height 5.25 inches Width 4 inches Depth alone 2.25 inches Depth back to back 4.5 inches Weight 4.9 pounds Boxed size: Height 9 inches Width 7 inches Depth 9 inches Weight 8 pounds.
