AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Pair of Art Deco bronze bookends with a medal-like patina depicting exotic fish, on a pedestal. 1930s, France.

Fairly good overall condition for its age: a restoration to note: one fish has been re-welded rather roughly onto its base and misaligned relative to the position of the other fish. The second fish moves a little on its base; the whole remains solid. Signs of age and wear, stains and traces on the patina with light oxidation (green patina) in places. A impact/dent to report on one of the bases.

- Height: 14 cm
- Length: 15.5 cm
- Width: 7.8 cm
