Item description

Each bookend depicts a knight rendered in an intricate, artistic style typical of Piero Fornasetti's work. The knights are shown with detailed designs on their armor and horses. The scenes are full of movement and life, capturing the knights in active, regal poses. The bookends are black metal with white, engraved or screen-printed imagery, highlighting the figures and giving them a striking, high-contrast appearance. The black and white theme is a signature element of Fornasetti’s work, lending the piece a timeless, modern appeal despite its historic subject matter. This pair of Fornasetti bookends blends historical imagery with modern design, reflecting Fornasetti's ability to mix classic themes with contemporary aesthetics. The knights, while detailed and realistic, are also somewhat whimsical, a hallmark of his playful yet refined artistic style. The two bookends have a red velvet base with Fornasetti Marks, they are in original condition with normal signs of use and age.
