ART OF THE RESCUE
Rescued from the trash bin due to minor corner wear, this substantial pair of architectural corbel bookends has been transformed into a showstopping study in maximalist courtly elegance. Weighing an impressive 5 ¾ pounds combined, their deeply sculpted acanthus leaves and rosette medallions now gleam with hand-rubbed antique gold gilding. Crisp, gold-rimmed black-and-white checks trace every curved edge and cover both the back and bottom panels—cleverly drawing the eye to the intricate artistry while allowing you to style them upright or lying down.
