Queen Elizabeth II Silver "Spirit of Ecstacy" Bookends 1997

A striking pair of silver ‘Spirit of Ecstasy’ bookends, each modelled as the iconic Rolls-Royce car mascot designed by Charles Sykes. Hallmarked in London in 1997 during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, the finely cast silver figures are elegantly mounted on contrasting polished wooden plinths. The celebrated Spirit of Ecstasy, introduced as the emblem of Rolls-Royce in 1911, is depicted in her characteristic flowing pose, with outstretched arms and windswept robes. A distinctive piece of automotive and silverware history, these bookends combine the timeless elegance of Rolls-Royce with the craftsmanship of British silver, making them an impressive addition to a study, library or collector’s display.
