ABOUT PRODUCTID 11416
This pair of bookends, crafted in Germany in the 1930s, is made entirely from solid beige marble with a creamy undertone and distinctive rust-brown veining. Each bookend features an octagonal base supporting a vertical rectangular block, topped by a large, angled, faceted marble cube. The geometric, architectural design is characteristic of Art Deco, while the high-gloss polished surface enhances the marble’s natural depth and coloration. Proportions are carefully balanced, with sharply defined edges and no visible hardware, highlighting the precision and coherence of the construction. The condition is very good – there are no chips, cracks, or significant signs of wear, and the original polish remains intact.These bookends echo the spirit of the 1930s, an era when luxurious materials and strict geometry redefined the aesthetics of everyday objects. The marble, set in faceted forms at an angle, seems to capture shifting light and shadow, as though preserving a fragment of an urban landscape from nearly a century ago. Every detail carries the memory of a time when function met bold, sculptural form and luxury was expressed through substance and proportion rather than ornament.The bookends may be paired with books bound in muted tones – their beige and brown palette complements natural wood as well as graphite or black accents. They would suit a shelf in a living room styled in the spirit of Art Deco, modernism, or an eclectic collector’s interior. It is worth combining them with other geometric accessories, such as a metal table lamp or glass objects with clean lines, to emphasize the architectural quality of the arrangement.
