ABOUT PRODUCTID 236
This pair of bookends from France, dating to the 1920s, is crafted from onyx in a warm, creamy beige tone, featuring translucent sections and natural veining in shades of golden yellow, amber, and subtle brown. The design takes the shape of a stylized fan or shell, with geometric, radiating lines and stepped forms that reflect a strong Art Deco influence. The solid, rectangular base ensures stability, while the polished, glossy surface accentuates the stone’s depth and organic pattern. Edges and carved lines are crisp and precise, creating a harmonious and symmetrical composition. Each bookend measures 14 cm in height, 11 cm in width, and 5 cm in depth. The overall condition is very good, with only minimal signs of age such as tiny nicks on the edges, typical for the period; no visible repairs or restoration.These bookends evoke an era when French Art Deco transformed everyday objects into pieces of sculptural presence. Onyx, deliberately chosen, was meant to introduce light and sophistication into interiors, while the fan-shaped form echoes motifs from the architecture and decorative arts of the 1920s. The polished stone catches and reflects light, offering a play of shadow and luminescence, as if the material whispers of urban elegance and refined simplicity from its time.The bookends could be paired with a classic Art Deco bookcase or serve as an accent on a modern, minimalist shelf. They would work well alongside dark wood, black lacquer, or glass, where the warm tones of onyx can enrich the composition. One could combine them with other geometric objects or framed period graphics to create a cohesive, collector’s arrangement in a living room or study.
