AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A beautiful and very substantial pair of bookends, perfectly capturing the aesthetic of the Art Deco period.

France, 1920s–1930s.

These bookends feature a bold, geometric design constructed from multiple contrasting types of natural marble. The central motif showcases a striking diamond pattern in a rich, mottled red/brown marble, flanked by panels of lighter, cream-coloured stone. They stand on a solid, black marble base, creating a sophisticated contrast that highlights the clean, modernist lines.

These are exceptionally heavy pieces, weighing 5.7 kg for the pair, making them highly stable and suitable for holding even the largest collection of books.

A stylish and functional addition to any office, library, or shelf display.

Condition : good, although some damage on the black base, see all pictures to make a informed decision, they are part of the description.
