Pair Georgian Solid Yew Wood Bookends c.1800 Antique English Pair %%alt5%% %%alt6%%
A truly handsome pair of English Georgian bookends made and turned in solid Yew wood. Very slow growing for a conifer, yew is one of the hardest of the softwoods. Much prized in furniture making for its colour, figure and durability, it is also notoriously hard to work.

These would have been worked by hand and topped with a simple brass finial to each of the tops. The patina of yew wood is unique, and particularly lovely – over the years it develops a silky sheen. Similarly the colour, while really quite vivid orange with purplish streaks when freshly cut, fades to a warm, mellow brown on antique furniture. It is one of the most prized, and unusual, of our indigenous cabinet timbers

Excellent antique condition with a fabulous natural patina showcasing the beauty of the wood, natural knots exist and there a minor chips commensurate with their age, over 200 years old dating to c.1800.

Each measures 8 1/2" x 4" x 5 1/4" tall.
