A wonderfully traditional pair of vintage Lady Clare bookends featuring classic English fox hunting scenes. Each bookend is finished in a rich claret-red lacquer with fine gilt detailing and inset sporting imagery depicting hounds in pursuit through the countryside.
Made by Lady Clare of England, a company long associated with lacquered decorative accessories and traditional British motifs, this pair has all the character of an old English library or country house. The deep red finish, gilt edging and equestrian subject matter make them especially handsome displayed with antique leather-bound books, sporting volumes or collected hunt-country objects.
Compact in scale but visually striking, they are perfect for a bookshelf, desk, library, tack room or layered equestrian interior.
