St. Cecilia Bookends
These alabaster bookends feature a classic image of St. Cecelia, patron of musicians playing an organ. Holding heavy books in line, they both organize and decorate your home. This pair of bookends makes the perfect personal gift for the musicians in your family and all who hold a devotion to this model of purity.
The original painting dates from the 17th century and is attributed to the Renaissance artists Orazio Gentileschi and Giovanni Lanfranco.
The bookends are made from stone-cast alabaster here in our shop in Steubenville, Ohio. Alabaster is a building and decorating material created from the mineral gypsum that has been used since the time of the ancient Egyptian Pharaohs. It boasts an attractive smooth finish.
Each measures roughly 6"x8", including the 4"x6" inset image plaque, and is 3" deep.
