Coppia di fermalibri francesi Art Déco in metallo e marmo degli anni ’30 con uccelli

This pair of bookends has been an elegant addition to a desk, bookshelf, or study during the Art Deco period. Today, such items are cherished for their craftsmanship, unique design, and as collectible pieces reflecting the stylish refinement of the 1930s. They are in very good condition overall. The birds are sculpted in a dynamic, forward-leaning pose, evoking a sense of motion and elegance typical of Art Deco aesthetics, crafted from spelter (a popular material in 1930s Art Deco sculptures), and finished in a patinated bronze tone. Each bird rests on a rectangular marble base. The marble’s smooth, solid quality contrasts with the textured, dynamic appearance of the birds, creating a balance between the organic and the geometric. The bookends exemplify the geometric and streamlined forms of Art Deco, emphasizing symmetry, sleek lines, and stylized natural motifs. The combination of metal and marble was a hallmark of French Art Deco bookends and small sculptures, representing a mix of opulence and modernity.
