The most stunning decorative pair of horse bookends by Arnaldo Giannelli - an Italian master sculptor. These Alabaster horse heads are beautifully sculptured and have been mounted onto grey marble bases, making them extremely heavy.
Styling tips
These bookends would add a touch of opulence to any interior. They have an Art Deco feel to them and would look beautiful styled in an 'eclectic' inspired interior. The ivory colour of the horse heads also works very well within a dark interior as shown in the photos.
Condition
In good vintage condition with small nibbles around the edges due to age. Signed A.Giannelli. Extremely heavy high quality pieces.

Our restoration process
Preparation
We carefully assess every piece, identifying any damage, repairs or replacement parts it may need. Drawers may need new runners, handles can be missing or damaged, and joints may require repair or reinforcement. We look beyond the surface to uncover hidden defects, ensuring each piece is restored to work as it was originally intended.
Restoration
With over 20 years of experience, we know that the right restoration techniques can make all the difference. It’s a delicate process that takes patience, skill and attention to detail — one we’ve taken the time to perfect. Each piece is carefully and sensitively restored, preserving its original character and charm while giving it a new lease of life.
Finishing
Finally, we add the finishing touches — whether that’s painting, oiling or sealing, fitting new handles, hinges or catches, or simply giving the piece a final clean and polish. We make sure every piece is ready for modern living, giving it a new lease of life and a renewed sense of purpose, ready to be loved for generations to come.
Before and after
Each piece is carefully and sympathetically restored to preserve the character, charm and beautiful details that make it unique. The result is a truly individual piece of furniture, thoughtfully restored for
modern living and ready to bring warmth, personality and timeless style to your home for years to come.
