ABOUT PRODUCTID 17030
This pair of French Art Deco bookends from the 1930s combines stylized bird figures cast in metal with a matte, warm gold finish and geometric bases cut from gray marble. The proportions are balanced: the slightly elongated marble bases feature pronounced white veining unique to each piece, their smooth, polished surfaces contrasting with the crisp, symmetrical lines of the birds. Feather details are sharply defined, and the figures' poised forms evoke the selective refinement characteristic of the era. Minor chips are present on the marble corners, and the metal shows traces of natural patina and gentle use, confirming the set’s vintage authenticity. The bookends are overall in good condition; subtle imperfections underscore their genuine age without detracting from their visual presence. These bookends tell the story of an era when the geometry of Art Deco intertwined with the living motifs of nature. The birds, cool and softly gilded, allude to the tranquil spirit of French drawing rooms in the interwar years, where attention to detail met the clarity of line. Their forms echo the urban cadence of the 1930s, while the marble’s cool gleam suggests a calm domestic haven, sheltering books and memories under the gentle glow of passing light. They may be placed on an open bookshelf or sideboard, lending structure to a library of bound volumes. The set works well within Art Deco-inspired or classically modern interiors, but would also suit eclectic collector’s spaces. For a period-accurate arrangement, pair them with chromed picture frames or geometric glass vases—while their stone bases and gold-toned birds can create an intriguing contrast against dark wood veneers or the velvet surface of a contemporary console.
