This is a beautiful pair of brass Foo Dog bookends.  They are made if brass and have a light patina which could easily be polished with some Brasso.  They are nice hand heavy, each one weighs 4.8 lbs so they will hold up even your biggest book.  They are vintage as they are marked made in Hong Kong on the bottom.  They measure 8 1/2'' inches tall, and the base is 4 3/4'' inches by 2 3/4'' inches wide.  If you have any questions or would like to see more photos please send me a message and I will get back to you right away.
