Love these bookends!  I have them on top of an antique secretary in my foyer.  They are classic and understated-at a very good price!  They make my home look more "stately."  :)  Even my husband likes them and wanted to steal them for his library!  They are heavy enough to hold up several books-and pretty enough to use as a decoration only piece!  You won't find another well-priced and handsome pair of bookends than these!
