ABOUT PRODUCTID 15880
A pair of bookends from 1930s Germany, shaped in the late Art Deco style, crafted entirely from solid marble. The design utilizes a geometric L-shaped silhouette, with distinct, sharp edge lines and upright rectangular sections softened by gently rounded upper corners. At the foot of each bookend sits a perfectly polished marble sphere, serving as a characteristic 1930s accent. The stone is a deep, lustrous black with a reflective finish, featuring subtle lighter veining and natural mineral inclusions that reveal the authenticity and richness of the material. Precision-polished surfaces catch the light, highlighting the innate texture of the marble. The pair is preserved in very good vintage condition with only minimal signs of age-appropriate use, such as slight abrasions or micro-chipping, typical for an untouched original from the 1930s. This set of bookends resonates with the voice of an era where clarity and luxury converged within bold forms. The marble spheres evoke architectural references to modernist lobbies and thresholds, where material and light defined the daily rhythm. The weight and polish of the stone speak of the gravitas found in libraries of the time, while the clean geometry narrates a story of confidence in order and rationality — nothing superfluous, only the quiet strength of perfectly proportioned mass. These bookends could be placed on an oak or walnut shelf to frame a collection of art volumes or select literary editions. Their geometric simplicity will suit both classic Art Deco interiors and minimalist arrangements, best highlighting a curated space. They pair well with a Bauhaus-era chrome lamp, a thick-framed mirror, or simple porcelain pieces — allowing the marble’s presence to converse with other tactile, quality materials. Settings such as modernist living rooms, collector’s libraries, or thoughtfully composed reading nooks would provide the ideal backdrop for this ensemble.
