Stunning Blackwood nude bust bookends
Absolutely stunning large pair of carved nude
Both female.
African bookends
Early 20th Century.
These are by far the best I have ever seen.
They are made from African Blackwood with beautiful lustre and extremely heavy at 8.236 lbs or 3.736 kg the pair.
African Blackwood is an exotic wood native to Eastern Africa, and is also known as Mozambique Ebony or Senegal Ebony. It features a dark brown, even purplish heartwood with dark streaks. It is an extremely hard wood, strong and stiff, very stable, with a fine texture. Mainly used for custom pool cues, woodwind instruments, knife handles, walking sticks, and carving. African Blackwood is considered one of the world's finest woods for turning. It polishes very well to a smooth, lustrous finish.
Each bust measures
Height 8.5 inches
Width 5 inches
Depth 4.5 inches
