ABOUT PRODUCTID 17117
This pair of French bookends from the 1930s encapsulates the essential principles of the Art Deco style in a compact, decorative format. Each piece is constructed from highly polished marble: the main structure is a large, perfectly rounded disk in a warm, peach-pink tone, traversed by distinctive veining in ochre, cream, and subtle gray. A smaller, striking accent is provided by a round black marble disk attached to the face of the main body, featuring expressive white veins. Both disks are set vertically on a solid, rectangular marble base of matching color and pattern. The surfaces are glossy and mirror-like, with sharply finished edges accentuating the geometric purity of the design, while all structural joints are seamlessly executed. Practical advantages include substantial weight and inherent stability, allowing books to be held upright with ease. The overall form is free from additional ornamentation, relying solely on the natural beauty of the materials and precisely engineered simplicity. The pair is preserved in excellent, original condition, with no visible signs of damage or restoration.
The form of these bookends speaks in the measured voice of French Art Deco—a time when sculpture intertwined with function, and luxury derived from the perfection of both material and geometry. The marble, smooth and cool to the touch, seems to whisper of 1930s elegance, while the geometric silhouette suggests the poise and tranquillity of Parisian interiors of the period. The interplay of deep black and bright, soft stone brings a sense of refined contrast and imposes a sense of disciplined order on any bookshelf or desk.
These bookends could serve as a sophisticated accent within a classical bookcase or lend gravitas to a contemporary living room
