Retail between $300-600 due to size and subject

Authentic hand-carved wooden bookends from Oberammergau, Germany, stamped by the Siegmund Wegner workshop, known for fine religious and secular carvings. Carved in the mid-20th century, these substantial monk figures feature deep, detailed workmanship and the rich patina that only comes with age. Oberammergau is internationally renowned for its master carvers, and pieces bearing a documented workshop stamp are highly sought after by collectors. At an impressive 8½ inches tall, these are heavy, fully sculptural bookends originally made for libraries and studies, not tourist décor. A rare, matched pair combining functional use with true Old World craftsmanship.
