Vintage Art Deco Ceramic Horse Head Bookends With Gilt Book Spines – Pair
A striking pair of vintage glazed ceramic bookends featuring boldly stylized horse heads emerging from classic book forms with hand-painted gilt accents. Rich chestnut-brown glaze, expressive sculptural lines, and dramatic gold detailing give these bookends a distinctive Art Deco influence while celebrating timeless equestrian design.
The sculptural horse profiles are beautifully modeled with elongated features and stylized eyes, making them equally compelling as decorative objects and functional bookends. Their sophisticated palette and architectural form make them an ideal addition to a library, study, office, or curated bookshelf.
A wonderful choice for collectors of equestrian décor, Art Deco ceramics, or vintage bookends.

One thing to check
Please upload a photo of the bottoms. These remind me of pieces produced by several American and European ceramic makers, and a maker’s mark could increase the value significantly. If they’re marked, I can often identify the manufacturer and adjust the pricing accordingly.
