Bookends (2) - Fighting roosters - silver patinated spelter mounted on marble bases

French pair of Art Deco bookends featuring stylized fighting cocks (roosters) in a dramatic, defensive pose. France, 1930s - 1940s. These figures are cast in spelter (regule) with a warm silver-toned finish, accented by a pale green verdigris-style patina that highlights the intricate textures of the feathers, combs, and wattles. The roosters are detailed with vibrant orange-red eyes, giving them a fierce and spirited expression. Each bird is perched atop a variegated brecciated marble cube, which is mounted on a solid white marble rectangular base. The sharp, angular lines of the wings and the geometric stacking of the marble make these a classic example of Art Deco animalier design. They serve as both a bold decorative statement and a functional addition to any bookshelf. Good vintage condition with small signs of aging and blemishes consistent with age. Se all pictures to make a informed decision, the pictures are part of the description. Secured shipping with tracking code.
