Description from the seller
French Art Deco Black Marble Bookends
A sophisticated pair of heavy bookends crafted from solid black marble, featuring elegant white veining. These pieces are a prime example of the Art Deco aesthetic, characterized by their bold, geometric silhouettes and architectural form.

Due to their substantial weight (approx. 1.9 kg for the set), they are as functional as they are decorative, capable of supporting a significant row of books.
Material: High-quality black marble with natural white veins.
Style: Art Deco / Modernist.
Period: 1930–1940.
Condition: Good vintage condition. see all photos for a detailed view, they are part of the description. The undersides are fitted with green felt to protect furniture surfaces.
