Max le Verrier - Sculpture, Bookend - 16.5 cm - Bronze - 1920

Max Le Verrier (1891–1973) – for bookends of the book "The Nobleman and the Shoemaker" – Art Deco, France
Elegant pair of sculptural bookends by Max Le Verrier – one of the most recognizable French Art Deco creators.

The forms are distinctly stylized, with soft lines and subtly crafted details, typical of the aesthetics of the 1920s–1930s.
