Pair of bookends with German shepherds – green patina on red veined marble – France, circa 1930 Description: Elegant pair of bronze bookends featuring depictions of two German Shepherds in an alert, natural stance. The figures are crafted in green patinated metal, which beautifully contrasts with the white veined marble bases on which they rest. This combination of materials – warm bronze and cool marble – is typical of the Art Deco era, where strength and refinement complement each other harmoniously. The sculptures are finely detailed, with attention to the muscular build and expression of the animal. Dimensions (per piece): Width: 15 cm Depth: 8.5 cm Height: 15 cm Origin: France Period: ca. 1930 Condition: Has a beautifully preserved patina and minimal signs of age. No cracks or chips in the marble.
