19th-century Olive Wood Bookends With Marquetry Swallows

A beautiful item to display on your desk—here is a bookend of Italian origin, brought back as a souvenir from the spa town of Luchon in the Pyrenees in the 19th century. In fact, even back then, people had the idea of manufacturing souvenir items elsewhere and then selling them on site. The early days of globalization. The bookend is made of olive wood; the two curved panels are adorned with marquetry swallows accompanied by the message: “I will return,” and on the tray is the name “Luchon.”
