Pair of Vintage Italian Handcarved Carved Alabaster Owl Bird Bookends

A stunning pair of vintage alabaster owl bookends, beautifully carved with clean lines and subtle detail. The softly translucent stone glows with natural warmth, while the owls’ expressive faces and inlaid eyes add just the right touch of character.

Minimal yet striking, these bookends work as functional decor or sculptural objects in their own right. Style them on a bookshelf, credenza, or desk—perfect for modern, mid-century, or collected interiors.

One measures 6 3/4" tall and the other 6 1/2" tall. Both are approximately 1 1/2" deep.

Both are in good vintage condition with age-appropriate surface wear. One owl has had its tail repaired.
