Solid brass bookends, definitely vintage and possibly antique, representing key imagery from the Royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom. The lion represents England, the unicorn represents Scotland, and the rose symbol, used by the House of Tudor, also appears in the royal coat of arms.
Condition Notes: The lion bookend does not sit flush on surface/against books; there is stubborn patina visible on the external-facing base of each bookend. I would recommend adding felt padding to the base of these to protect any valuable surfaces they might rest on.
