Black Fossil Marble Egg Bookends — 8+ lbs
This distinctive pair of egg-shaped bookends is hand-carved from dense black fossil marble, featuring striking white fossil inclusions—likely Orthoceras, an extinct marine cephalopod from the Devonian period (approx. 400 million years ago). The polished surfaces highlight the natural veining and fossil patterns, offering both functionality and visual appeal.
Each bookend measures approximately 6 inches in height and 4 inches in diameter, with a combined weight of 8 lb 2 oz, providing substantial support for books.
Condition
In very good vintage condition. Surfaces maintain a strong polish with minor abrasions and base wear consistent with age. No chips or cracks observed.
Dimensions
Each: 6" H x 4" Diameter
Combined Weight: 8 lb 2 oz
