ABOUT PRODUCTID 15510
This set of two French Art Deco bookends from the 1930s encapsulates the era’s stylistic synthesis of geometry and natural form. Each bookend is crafted in glazed porcelain, depicting a stylized sparrow resting atop an angular plinth. The dominant color is a warm, dusty pink with subtle tonal transitions, deepening into a smoky grey at the birds' heads and tails. The glossy glaze accentuates both the soft feather sculpting and the smooth rectangular base. Gentle surface irregularities and pastel variations are characteristic of hand-glazed porcelain from this period, with a small lighter spot and a minor glaze chip present on one base—both marks of gentle vintage use. The design unites sharp, geometric foundations with fluid, organic avian silhouettes; the proportions are compact and visually balanced, with the bird forms anchoring the upper section. The overall condition is very good, exhibiting only slight traces of wear and a small chip at one base edge, with no cracks or structural damage. These bookends channel the quiet confidence of the 1930s, a moment when geometry merged with naturalism to create refined, everyday objects. The porcelain sparrow appears as a tranquil emblem of pre-war urban life—unafraid of modernity
