AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A stunning pair of original Art Deco bookends featuring stylized, aerodynamic aircraft, dating back to the 1930s. These pieces are quintessential examples of the Streamline Moderne movement, which emphasized curving forms and long horizontal lines, celebrating the era of early aviation and industrial progress.

The airplanes are crafted from aluminium, showcasing a sleek, minimalist silhouette that captures the essence of speed. They are mounted on marble bases with subtle natural veining, providing both elegance and the necessary weight to function as sturdy bookends.

These pieces are not only functional desk accessories but also highly decorative sculptural objects that embody the "Machine Age" aesthetic.

Condition: In good vintage condition with age-appropriate patina, please see all pictures to make an informed decision, the pictures are part of the description.
