Bookends (2) - Zamac

Pair of French Art Deco Bookends - Swooping Swallows - c. 1930

A beautiful and dynamic pair of authentic Art Deco bookends dating from the 1930s-1940s. These pieces feature stylized swallows (or seagulls) in full flight, a classic motif of the era symbolizing freedom and speed.

The sculptures are crafted in patinated spelter (régule) with a warm bronze/gold finish, capturing the sleek, geometric lines typical of the "Streamline Moderne" period. Each bird is mounted on a solid, bevelled marble base with attractive natural veining in shades of beige and ochre.
