Description from the seller
Pair of designer bookends in Breccia Pernice and Nero Marquina – Italy – 20th century
Elegant pair of sculptural marble bookends, characterized by a refined contrast between the spectacular Breccia Pernice, in warm tones of pink, ochre and earth, and the deep Nero Marquina, traversed by the characteristic fine light veining.
The construction is particularly interesting: each bookend features a solid rectangular base with softly rounded corners, from which rises a vertical slab of the same Breccia marble. A triangular element in Nero Marquina acts as a counter-thace, creating an elegant chromatic contrast and giving the whole piece a pronounced architectural and modernist character.
The beauty of these objects lies mainly in the material. Breccia Pernice presents a rich natural composition of fragments and veins, with tones ranging from antique pink to beige, from ochre to reddish-brown. Nero Marquina, intense and deep, with its characteristic white veins, creates a very elegant contrast and further highlights the natural pattern of the breccia.
The surfaces are carefully ground and polished, while the bottom is clad in protective black material, designed to preserve the supporting planes.
An extremely decorative yet functional piece of furniture, ideal for a substantial bookshelf, a study, a desk, a console, or a contemporary setting. The clean geometries and the pairing of the two marbles allow the pair to be used also as a true decorative element, independent of its function.
Dimensions of each bookend: about 14 × 13 × 9 cm.
The pair shows normal signs of aging and use, small marks and imperfections compatible with the nature of marble and the age of the object. The veining and color variations are natural characteristics of the stone and make each element unique. Please carefully review all photographs for a complete assessment of the conservation status.
