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. Their eyes are accented with small, reddish-brown glass or painted inserts, lending a lifelike and slightly whimsical touch. The rectangular bases are detailed with ribbed, stepped fronts, reinforcing the Art Deco aesthetic. The construction is robust, revealing visible hand-tool marks and careful joinery. The overall condition is very good—only minor signs of age such as soft edge wear and a gentle patina are present, with no significant damage or repairs.

The pronounced, angular lines of the terriers recall a time when decorative art met everyday function in 1930s interiors. The wood, marked by the
