AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
No reserve price!
Large Dimensions, Pair of Supports (Bookends) Figurative in Carved Wood – Art Deco Style.
Pair of bookends carved from solid wood, entirely hand-sculpted. Each piece features a stylized, elongated nude female figure, in an arched anatomical pose (reminiscent of Art Deco aesthetics or a yoga/meditation posture). The sculptures rest on a stepped square base that blends into a vertical structure simulating the spine of a book. Excellent carving work, highlighting the natural grain of the wood and a polished warm-toned patina.
Solid exotic wood (appears to be teak or similar).
Good overall condition, showing only the natural wear of age and slight surface marks that do not compromise the piece’s integrity.
Seller's Story
Antiques are my great passion; all the items I have on auction were found at antique fairs and antique shops mainly from the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal, a country with a centuries-old history and many fabulous pieces and objects from this long journey, which I present here for auction. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original, and obviously beautiful. Guarantee of quality and great care in the shipping of the items. Thank you.
