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.
