Description from the seller
Art Deco Owl Book Stands / Bookends – Brass – 1920s – In excellent condition – No reserve.
A charming and highly decorative pair of Art Deco owl book stands / bookends dating from the 1920s. Executed in solid brass with beautifully stylized owl motifs, these sculptural pieces perfectly capture the fascination with geometric animal forms that became characteristic of the Art Deco period.
Owls symbolized wisdom and knowledge, making them especially popular as desk accessories and library decorations during the early 20th century. Their elegant silhouette and warm brass patina make this set both functional and visually striking — ideal for an Art Deco, library, or study interior.
This rare pair has a pleasing weight and quality feel, with a combined weight of approximately 750 grams. The brass has developed an attractive vintage patina over the decades, enhancing the authentic character of the set.
In very good vintage condition with normal signs of age and use consistent with nearly 100 years of history. Beautiful natural patina to the brass. No cracks or repairs observed.
Dimensions: 14.5 x 8 x 10 cm (h x w x d)
Weight: Approx. 750 g combined.
