Charming pair of Art Deco bookends, made in France around 1930, depicting seated elephants. They are crafted from silver-plated metal and mounted on rectangular bases of Rouge Royal marble, renowned for its deep reddish hue and natural white veining.
The design blends humor and elegance, with soft lines and balanced proportions, evoking the sculptural style of French artists such as Max Le Verrier and Uta, who reinterpreted the animal figure within the modern idiom of the interwar period.
The contrast between the metallic sheen and the warmth of the marble creates a sophisticated decorative presence, ideal for a contemporary library or desk.
Condition: Very good overall condition, with a small chip on one corner of the marble, visible in the photographs.
Provenance: France, circa 1930
Materials: Silver-plated metal, Rouge Royal marble
