These art deco book ends look like they were enjoying the stories that they support. The waves add an attention to the movement of the water below these fascinating creatures. The bookends are metal and seem to be weighted. They are finished in black but part of the finish is chipped and is missing. They still look good. There are no markings of a maker. Will be glad to send more pictures. Approximate Measurements: 9″ tall, 4 1/2″ wide, 5 1/2 deep. Listing as found with chipped pain.
