AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A classic pair of original Art Deco bookends from France, dating from the interwar period (1920s–1930s).

The set features two sitting toucans with berries in their beaks, depicted in a vigilant, watchful stance. The figures are cast in spelter with a silver patina that mimics the appearance of bronze.

The animals are mounted on heavy, geometric bases made of green-veined and white-veined marble (probably Vert de Mer or Serpentine). The blocky design of the marble is typical of the Art Deco style.

The photos are a part of the photos.

State is excellent.
