Description: These are a pair of bookends, not a book slide. They date c1870-1890, no doubt Grand Tour Souvenirs from Sorrento, Italy. They are carved from olive wood banded with wooden "micro-mosaic" in a number of colors. The central medallions feature cupids cavorting with a bird & a dolphin. There are some minor cracks as well as the odd "tile" missing. One bookend is in great condition, the other fair. A lovely genuine antique....
