ABOUT PRODUCTID 17135
This French bookend from the 1930s is crafted from solid marble, combining beige-yellow, deep red, and warm brown hues with pronounced grey and white veining that traces organic, marbled patterns across all surfaces. The distinctly geometric form – with a trapezoidal main block and crisp, orthogonal base and upright – is a clear nod to Art Deco sensibilities, favoring clarity of line and celebration of material. A polished, glossy finish enhances the marble’s natural color variations and gives a slight mirrored sheen. The bookend’s compact silhouette and robust construction make it sturdy enough to support even substantial volumes, while the seamlessly fitted marble elements showcase the skill of the stonemason. There are no visible fastenings, and the overall proportions communicate both functional certainty and refined craftsmanship. In very good condition: free from chips, cracks, repairs, or notable wear, with only a gentle, time-earned patina subtly marking its age.
A silent artifact of the French Art Deco period, this marble piece embodies the interwar fascination with pure geometry and noble material. Its polished surface catches the play of light on a bookshelf, while the irregular color striations evoke the marble’s millennial journey from quarry to cultured object. One can imagine it anchoring the rhythm of a sunlit Parisian study in the 1930s—quietly performing its role, yet lending a discreet structure to the daily pageantry of literature.
