Bookends (2) - Marble, Spelter - Art Deco bookends

Pair of patinated regulé bookends with a design of birds in flight – Marble bases
Elegant pair of patinated regulé bookends representing two birds with wings spread, captured in a graceful motion suggesting takeoff. The silhouettes are finely worked, with a beautiful rendering of the feathers and a dynamic posture that gives the whole piece a real decorative presence.
Each subject rests on a black marble base, of substantial size, providing stability and contrast. The patina in brown and gold tones subtly enhances the reliefs of the modeling and highlights the Art Deco aesthetics of the piece.
A functional yet decorative object, this pair will find a perfect place in a library, on a desk, or as an ornamental element in a classic or contemporary interior.
Good overall condition, with light signs of use consistent with age and the nature of the material.
A decorative piece of character, ideal for lovers of antique objects and animal sculptures.
