Description :
Winged Victory of Samothrace Bookends: Bronze-Toned Replicas of Hellenistic Grace This pair of sculptural bookends features miniature reproductions of the Winged Victory of Samothrace, also known as Nike of Samothrace, a celebrated Hellenistic statue dating to the 2nd century BCE. The original, housed in the Louvre, is renowned for its dynamic form and expressive drapery. Material: Cast in a bronze-colored composite or metal, giving the pieces a classical patina and weight suitable for functional display. Form: Each figure is headless and armless, consistent with the original statue’s fragmentary condition. The wings are fully extended, and the garments appear wind-swept, conveying motion and triumph. Base: Mounted on rectangular plinths, allowing the sculptures to serve as stable bookends while preserving their sculptural integrity. Origin of Design: The Nike of Samothrace was created to commemorate a naval victory and is considered a masterpiece of Hellenistic sculpture for its dramatic pose and mastery of form. Symbolism: Nike, the Greek goddess of victory, represents triumph, movement, and divine favor, making these bookends not only decorative but symbolically resonant. Function: Ideal for classical-themed interiors, libraries, or collectors of Greco-Roman art, these bookends blend aesthetic refinement with practical use.Design and Features
