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.
