China Furniture And Arts Asian Bookends

A charming work of art, this set of exquisite handmade bookends depicts a boy and girl diligently studying atop a collection of classic Chinese poem books. The manuals in the children's hands feature two poems by Li Bai, an acclaimed Chinese poet from the Tang dynasty. On the left page it reads, “The moon shines a silver light as cold as autumn frost. Looking at the moon, I long for home.” The page on the right is an optimistic uplifting poem, “The sun is setting. The Yellow River runs into the sea. To view this great earth, one must go up high in the tower on the mountain.” From the children's facial expressions to the elegant calligraphic text, each element of these bookends has been painstakingly depicted by hand. This is a functional work of art and a perfect addition to any bookshelf.
