Placed at each end of a shelf, they face each other across a row of books.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach bookend shows a standing horse in bronze-tone metal, with clearly modelled muscles, mane and tail. The horses are mirror images, and each stands on a heavy rectangular base of black marble with white veins. One base carries a small gold label reading \"Marbre véritable\" (genuine marble). The white veins running through black marble formed over millions of years, as mineral-rich water seeped into cracks in the stone and left behind bright lines of calcite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bookends are in good vintage condition, with some signs of use and patina. They have held up books in other libraries for years, and they're ready for yours.
