Pair of French Art Deco Marabou Bookends on Marble Bases (c. 1920-1930) This is a beautiful and authentic pair of Art Deco bookends, originating from France in the 1920s or 1930s. Highly stylized Marabou birds, emblematic of the Art Deco period's fascination with nature and streamlined forms. Material: Crafted from bronze patinated spelter characteristic of the era. They are mounted on striking marble bases. Base: Each bookend features a substantial, stepped marble base. The marble consists of two contrasting colors: a dark green marble (likely Vert de Mer or a similar variety) and a central section of pink/beige veined marble (likely Brocatelle or Rouge Royal, although it appears lighter).Origin Mark: The close-up image shows a visible stamp or coin on the metal figures, which reads "FABRICATION FRANÇAISE" and "MADE IN FRANCE", confirming its French origin. Condition: Good condition, used with small signs of aging & blemishes, consistent with their age. The underside of the base shows the method of securing the figure to the marble. These elegant bookends are highly collectible and would make a stunning addition to any Art Deco collection, library, or office.
