Have you a suitable mantlepiece on which to display them?
You need somewhere like that for such a fabulous pair - they need to be SEEN as a major feature of the room they're in.  ;D

They're sort of trophy shaped - they would look very good on either side of a painting you love - showing it off as if it had won some awards, hence the mantlepiece suggestion - and that it's a focal point of a room too. 

(I've got Karen Lainson ceramic dragons guarding our best painting.)

I don't have a mantelpiece and my favourite artist is the notorious Charles Bronson (prisoner) which I have around 120 plus pieces of his original art, so not too sure that they would look right each side of one of his pieces, lol

Wow, I'd love to see some of his work!
I know he was a psychopathic wierdo, probably devoid of anything approximating normal emotions. Psychopaths do not feel fear, one of the most important emotions in terms of survival - they also have to imagine what other emotions are like - from watching people. They mostly try to act as if they feel things.
I'm very interested in what he produced, visually, on paper. (or some other surface)

(just had a wee google - interesting stuff!)

I love his work, he also has done two oil paintings only and I have one of them that he presented to a prison officer whom he made friends with, the officer later left the prison service he was disgusted at the way Bronson was treated, he wrote a book called the loose screw by the officer jim dawkins, the painting is featured in the book, I bought the painting from jim just before the film Bronson came out, once it did all bronsons art work shot up in price, some of his drawings have made 500 pounds plus, god knows whast the oil will be worth now
