Vintage 1950s Borghese cherub bookends.
Classic putti busts crafted in chalkware and finished in a warm gold gilt.
Each cherub head sits atop a dark, faux-marble pedestal and is fitted with a metal book support arm, allowing the pieces to function as both decorative sculptures and practical bookends.
They have their original felted bases and red-and-black Borghese maker tag.
Borghese was well-known for its high-quality decorative plaster pieces, often inspired by European classical art.
These bookends exemplify that aesthetic, with detailed sculpting, curled hair, and a traditional gilt finish that adds an elegant, timeless look to any bookshelf or office.
Their combination of period style, original components, and recognizable Borghese craftsmanship makes them a desirable choice for collectors of mid-century décor and Italian decorative arts.
Great condition, no chips or cracks, only some paint ware.
Width: 3 1/4 inches
