Vintage Exceptional Hand Carved Don Quixote & Sancho Book Ends

This is an exceptionally fun and interesting set of two vintage wood carvings of Don Quixote and his sidekick Sancho Panza.

They have so much character in their faces and the way they sit in their chairs. They stand alone as carvings and works of art as well as useful as bookends.

The Don measures approximately almost 8 inches 3 ¼ wide 5 ½ deep. He is the taller one.

Sancho measures approximately 6 ¾ tall   3 ¼ wide,  5 ½ in deep. He is the  shorter one.

They weigh together 30 ounces unpackaged.

“DON QUIXOTE IS A SPANISH NOVEL BY CERVANTES. IT WAS ORIGNALLY PUBLISHED IN TWO PART IN 1605 AND 1615. IT IS CONSIDERED A FOUNDING WORK OF ALL WESTERN LITERATURE AND IS LABELLED AS THE FIRST MODERN NOVEL.
