Subtle traces of age, such as gentle surface wear and a soft patina, affirm the authenticity of the set. Preserved in very good condition, with no evidence of significant damage or restoration.

The nuanced patina and shading highlight the attention to sculptural detail—suggesting that each deer tells a story of interwar France, where fascination with nature met the discipline of a new artistic order. On a bookshelf or sideboard, the bookends could be paired with classic hard
