Beschrijving van de verkoper
Pair of Art Deco Heraldic Winged Lion Bookends – 1925–1935 – In excellent condition
An impressive and sculptural pair of Art Deco bookends depicting powerful heraldic winged lions in a dynamic rampant posture.
Crafted in cast metal with a warm hand-finished patina and mounted on solid dark-stained wooden bases, this refined set embodies the bold decorative language of the European Interbellum period (circa 1925–1935).
The stylised anatomy, flowing manes and architectural wooden supports reflect the confident geometry of early Art Deco design. The heraldic lion — a timeless symbol of strength, vigilance and nobility — was frequently incorporated into prestigious bureau and library furnishings during this era.
Unlike later mass-produced examples, this pair shows characteristics of small-scale atelier production: subtle casting variations, hand-finished surface treatment and individually mounted wooden bases. The result is a set with authentic presence and decorative power.
A rare and elegant addition to any refined interior, collector’s cabinet or period library.
