Set di quattro fermalibri francesi in legno e ferro Art Déco degli anni ’30

This is a striking set of four bookends that captures the essence of the Art Deco era. They blend contrasting materials, warm-toned wood with the darker, more rigid iron in a design that’s both geometric and subtly whimsical. Their French origin is a testament to the period’s focus on elegance and craftsmanship. The wood exhibits a warm, medium-brown tone with a noticeable natural grain pattern that adds to its visual interest. Contrasting with the wood are iron elements. These are used for the spherical embellishments. The most prominent feature is the series of progressively sized, spherical wooden balls attached to the side of each bookend. These balls are the focal point, adding a three-dimensional quality to the design. The spherical motif is repeated in the iron embellishments on the base, creating a visual echo. The bookends are in good vintage condition. The wood shows a rich patina, indicating age, the iron elements are well-preserved. This set of four 1930s Art Deco Wood and Iron French Bookends is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Art Deco style. They are not only functional objects but also beautiful examples of design from this period, embodying its elegance, sophistication, and appreciation for fine craftsmanship. They would make a wonderful addition to any bookshelf or collection of Art Deco objects.
