This beautiful piece, often overlooked in favor of bronze, deserves special attention.

The metal used for these pieces is spelter, an alloy which, at the beginning of the 20th century, enjoyed a veritable revival of interest. Indeed, spelter pieces from this period are particularly sought-after, not only for their aesthetic appeal, but also for the exceptional quality of their patina, which is often flawless.

These bookends measure 16 cm wide, 8 cm deep and 12 cm high. They are in very good condition, with a small bump visible in one of the photos, but this in no way detracts from their beauty and character. Every detail of these pieces tells a story, making them not only decorative objects but also testimonies to the taste and know-how of their era.

Whether to enhance your library or as a decorative piece in your home, these bookends will add a touch of elegance and refinement. They are ideal for lovers of decorative art and those who appreciate objects steeped in history. See less
