About the Item

Step back into a dramatic moment of antiquity with this striking pair of Hubley cast iron bookends, circa 1930. Known as the “Chariot Rounding the Bend” series, these bookends feature a chariot race in mid-thunder—the horses snapping forward, the charioteer poised at the rim of a Coliseum bend. One of the rarest and most dynamic designs in Hubley’s bookend catalog.
