Robert Belcher Antiques was established in 1984 and is a high-quality retailer of interesting, rare antiques and decorative objects. After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.
You can contact Robert and Wendy by email or telephone to discuss items from their extensive catalogue of attractive pieces and make purchases. Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner.
All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.
Please enjoy viewing their collection of rare and interesting pieces and have the assurance that Robert and Wendy will do their utmost to make sure your experience is exceptional, as has been recognised by many customers who have bought with confidence regularly over the years.

Description
A striking and highly decorative pair of Victorian carved mahogany library bookends, dating to circa 1860. These unusual bookends are believed to have an ecclesiastical origin, possibly having been commissioned for use within a church or other religious institution.
Expertly hand carved from dense, richly figured mahogany, each bookend is fashioned as a finely executed portrait bust of a young choir boy, displaying excellent craftsmanship and expressive detail. The busts are mounted on moulded mahogany backs and stepped bases, which serve as the functional book supports.
Substantial in both scale and weight, these bookends are ideally suited for supporting larger volumes while making an impressive decorative statement in a library, study, or ecclesiastical collection.
The pair remains in very good antique condition, displaying a deep, rich colour and an attractive original patina acquired over more than 160 years.
