About the Item
From a private collection, a spectacular pair of solid brass enameled bookends. Each features a gilded dragon emerging from ocean waves that meet the clouds, all five talons extended in pursuit of a fiery orb. The dragon's head strains forward in a roar, with bulging eyes and a robust body defined by a rigid spine and curled, muscular, and scaled tail. A beautiful emerald green border with a longevity motif frames this auspicious scene, highlighting the brilliant use of saturated silvery blue, cobalt, red, and gold enamels. Below, a gold-framed panel depicts heavenly clouds against a blue sky. The entire composition symbolizes good fortune and prosperity. In extraordinary condition.
