Description from the seller

Set of three panther bookends – Signed TEDD – Regule and marble bases
A beautiful decorative set consisting of three bookends featuring panthers, signed TEDD. The sculptures depict seated panthers with elegant, streamlined lines characteristic of the Art Deco taste for animal figures.
The figures are made in régule with a two-tone patina (bronze and black) and rest on rectangular bases of light marble, providing stability and elegance to the ensemble. The two side panthers form a pair of bookends, while the third piece can be used as a complementary bookend or as an independent decorative element.
This set makes a lovely object to enhance a library, a desk, or a collection of Art Deco pieces.
Condition:
Good overall condition with signs of use and patina due to age.
To note:
one of the bookends has a broken ear,
its tail is broken and then re-glued onto the same bookend.
Please carefully observe the photos which are an integral part of the description.
Characteristics:
Artist: TEDD (signature present)
Subject: panthers
Materials: régule and marble bases
Style: Art Deco
Number of pieces: 3 bookends
Original decorative ensemble, sought after by collectors of animal sculptures and Art Deco objects.
