ABOUT PRODUCTID 23429
This pair of porcelain bookends from the 1930s, produced by the Neu Tettau manufactory in Germany, exemplifies the Art Deco style. Crafted from glazed porcelain in a warm, ivory white with a lustrous finish, the bookends are accented with subtle gold detailing along the edges and bases. Each bookend features a stylized terrier, rendered with anatomical precision—textured fur and expressive faces—standing upright on its hind legs, front paws resting against the geometric support. The proportions are balanced, the lines crisp and precise, highlighting the quality of craftsmanship. The porcelain surface is smooth and glossy, with no visible signs of wear, chips, or restoration. The construction includes holes for sand filling to enhance stability. Dimensions are 17 cm in height, 7.5 cm in width, and 10.5 cm in length. The pair is preserved in very good condition, with the original Neu Tettau mark on the underside.These bookends evoke the spirit of the 1930s, when Art Deco fused function with ornament and animal motifs symbolized modern sophistication. The terrier’s form, distilled to a clear silhouette, seems to narrate an era when even everyday objects bore artistic intent. The gold accents recall the refined glow of period interiors, while the glossy porcelain reflects light and imparts an atmosphere of poised elegance.The bookends can be paired with classic cloth- or leather-bound volumes on a dark-stained period bookshelf or a contemporary sideboard with clean lines. They would also serve as a striking accent in an eclectic setting, alongside geometric vases or minimalist accessories. For a cohesive Art Deco ambiance, consider combining them with other elements from the 1920s and 1930s—such as a glass-shaded lamp or a mirrored tabletop—to underscore their historical pedigree and introduce a subtle, rhythmic motif to the space.
