Beautiful Vintage Pair of Carved Wood Lion of Lucerne Bookends: Helvetiorum Fidei Ac Virtuti This is a pair of antique or vintage carved mahogany wood bookends featuring the design of the famous Lion of Lucerne monument. The original monument, designed by Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen, commemorates the Swiss Guardsmen who died during the French Revolution in 1792. Inscription: The base of each bookend features the Latin inscription HELVETIORUM FIDEI AC VIRTUTI, which translates to To the loyalty and bravery of the Swiss. Crafted from solid mahogany, these bookends have a beautiful dark finish and a classic, aged patina. As is typical for vintage items, they may show some minor signs of wear, such as small nicks, scratches, or chips, which add to their antique character. Dimensions: Each bookend measures approximately 7.5 inches long by 3 inches deep and 5 inches tall. Good Condition Solid Mahogany Wood
