Border Fine Arts Classic -‘Not A Moments Peace’ Collie Dog Ginger Cat Figurine Bookends Limited Edition by Kirsty Rolly – B0093 – Rare. Two beautifully sculpted bookends featuring a border collie mother with her puppies, pestering two ginger cats on the farm. Each bookend stands on a wood base. Sculpted by Kirsty Rolly and issued in 1996 as a limited edition piece, number 539 of 1500. Each bookend is approximately H: 16cm W: 16cm L: 19cm. Border Fine Arts closed in 2016, making many of the models even more desirable to keen collectors. Attention to detail was paramount at Border Fine Arts. Alongside their desire to capture the essence of rural life and its changes over the past 50 years, each piece was the result of close study from nature and time and great effort was taken to ensure realistic portrayals of their subject. Adding to their charm each Border Fine Arts Classic model was hand finished, resulting in slight variations in shade and tone. Many of the most famous figures produced by Border Fine Arts represent a bygone era and evoke a deep sense of nostalgia for collectors; from scenes of heavy horses pulling the plough to a depiction of a picnic being eaten out of the back of a Morris Traveller, memories of a lost way of life are stirred. For many buyers, Border Fine Arts figures have a strong connection to their lifestyle and livelihoods today.
