18th Century French Gilt Bronze Triton Decorated Book Ends

A beautiful Pair of Ormolu and Black on White Marble decorative book ends!

Standing tall and beautifully detailed the Tritons pairs intertwine their tails and open impressive maws, while resting on a black marble base, which in turn rests on a white marble block.
The quality of the chiseling is lovely pointing to the end of the 18th Century, with a style very familiar to that time.
They can be used as decorative items or as book ends.

A beautiful addition to a library or a desk.
