ABOUT PRODUCTID 15707
This set of two French Art Deco bookends from the 1930s, intended for living spaces, is crafted from marble in a deep forest green tone punctuated by natural lighter veining. Each bookend is composed in a classic Art Deco geometric scheme: an L-shaped volume with precisely cut edges, straight lines, and rectangular proportions orchestrated in symmetrical harmony. The main stylistic accent lies in a glossy, nearly black marble sphere mounted on a short cylindrical stem—its mirror-like finish creates a dynamic contrast with the more subdued satin sheen of the vertical and horizontal surfaces. The marble’s texture is smooth to the touch, revealing subtle veining under the fingertips. The construction is meticulous, with tightly joined elements, the spheres stably affixed, likely by metal pins. The pieces are preserved in excellent condition: surfaces remain free of visible restoration, chipping, or cracks, with only subtle traces consistent with age. The design encapsulates the essence of 1930s French Art Deco: expressive restraint shaped in a modern, geometric idiom. These bookends evoke an era when material and construction spoke for themselves. Marble, a time-honored emblem of luxury, is employed here with a spirit of discretion and balance—the spheres seem to crown the tranquil composition, catching the light as quiet witnesses from a time when detail and form were equals in the language of design. The bookends would complement a classic bookshelf or a contemporary shelf in a living room, study, or library. They could be paired with a leather-bound library for a traditional setting, or serve as a sculptural focal point on a minimalist surface. When juxtaposed with light
