A pair of Art Deco bookends in warm carved wood with silver-plated metal tips, dating to 1980–1990, Spain, two objects with dimensions 16 cm high, 14 cm wide and 10 cm deep, in good used condition with minor signs of age.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
They are Art Deco-style bookends, a pair that combines the warm solidity of carved wood with the elegant shine of silver-toned metal tips, creating that characteristic contrast of decorative design from the 1920s and 1930s reinterpreted in the second half of the 20th century. Each duck is sculpted with smooth lines and a restrained, almost sculptural geometry, recalling the Art Deco stylization: refined shapes, compact volumes, and a decorative presence that does not renounce functionality.
The wood, polished and warm-toned, provides the organic base of the ensemble. The craftsmanship is evident in the curves of the bodies, in the transitions between surfaces, and in the way each figure integrates into the structure of the bookend. The silver-colored metal of the tips introduces the modern accent: a cool spark that balances the warmth of the main material and adds a note of sophistication.
The rectangular bases and back supports, also in wood, maintain the sober, geometric aesthetic of the style, providing stability and reinforcing the sense of a well-made object. Taken together, the pair operates as a small decorative diptych: two facing, symmetrical figures that impart character to any shelf.
They are pieces that blend craftsmanship, material contrast, geometric elegance, and that timeless charm of Art Deco reinterpreted.
Insured shipping and careful packaging.
