These are a charming pair of mid-century carved wooden bookends, likely dating from the 1950s–1960s. They depict whimsical readers sitting back-to-back with books, carved in a Scandinavian/folk-art style. I don’t see a maker’s mark in the photos, which suggests they may be a quality import or studio-crafted decorative piece rather than a high-end designer name
