This exceptional pair of antique Chinese bookends showcases the beauty of gemstone green serpentine and the craftsmanship of intricate brasswork. Large, octagonal insets of translucent green serpentine, each hand-carved with a detailed scene of peasants amidst abundant florals and foliage, form the focal point. The solid brass frames surrounding these serpentine plaques are meticulously engraved with continuous patterns of sunflowers and butterflies—symbols of joy. The solid brass bases are designed to fold, adding to their convenience for storage and travel. The combination of artistry, the finely carved serpentine, and the intricate brasswork makes this pair a rare and desirable find.
