Rare Art Deco Elegant Peacock Bookend – Régule and Marble, Signed TED, France 1920s–30s

Add a touch of elegance and sophistication to your bookshelf with this Art Deco peacock bookend, a symbol of beauty and majesty. Crafted in finely worked régule with a warm golden patina, the sculpture features exceptional detailing on the feathers and a graceful silhouette that immediately captures the eye. The open plumage and delicate curves of the body highlight the refinement of 20th-century French decorative art, perfectly embodying the Art Deco style of the 1920s–1930s.

The sculpture rests on an elegant rectangular black veined marble base, which enhances the figure of the peacock and showcases the entire composition. The base measures 24 cm in length, 9.5 cm in width, and 2 cm in thickness, providing stability and visual presence. Thanks to its weight and sturdiness, this peacock can also serve as a functional bookend, combining utility with decorative appeal.

Signed TED, this piece demonstrates the skill of a recognized artist in animal sculptures in régule, perfectly capturing the sought-after aesthetic of Art Deco. The warm patina, with subtle bronze and copper hues, enhances its authentic character and vintage charm.

With a maximum height of 16.5 cm and a weight of 1.670 kg, this sculpture is an ideal decorative object for a display cabinet, bookshelf, or console. Its elegant, understated, and refined style fits perfectly into classic, contemporary, or Art Deco-inspired interiors.
