A pair of decorative cast brass bookends featuring equestrian figures in 18th-century style attire on rearing horses. The figures represent traditional country pursuits: one rider is depicted as a huntsman blowing a horn, while the other is a falconer with a bird of prey perched on his raised left hand. Both riders wear period-style dress including tricorn hats and long coats. Each figure is hollow-cast with visible construction seams and is mounted on a heavy, stepped rectangular base decorated with a foliate scroll border. No maker marks or signatures are visible.
Length: 17 cm
