This pair of bookends from 1930s France exemplifies the craftsmanship and refined geometry of the Art Deco period. Hand-carved from solid wood, each bookend features a stylized Scottish Terrier seated beside a vertical book motif. The deep, dark brown color with a warm undertone highlights the natural wood grain, while a matte finish with subtle satin highlights accentuates the hand-carved texture. The terriers are rendered in expressive, faceted forms characteristic of the era, with angular lines and geometric surfaces.
