A striking pair of vintage FULPER Egyptian Revival bookends likely produced during the early 20th century Art Deco era.
These figurines (they appear to be Scribes) have a bold presence with a matte black stoneware-style finish and a simplified form that reflects the Egyptian Revival influence popular in American decorative arts following the discovery of King Tut’s tomb in the 1920s.
The surfaces are matte with variations in tone, giving them a timeworn appearance that works well with both antique and modern interiors.
Because of their weight and block style they were designed as both bookends and decorative objects.
Measures:
8.5 T x 4 1/4" D x 3 3/4" W
Weights - 10lbs 6 oz (Pair)
Both have their original hallmark FULPER written in an oval Cartouche on the bottom.
Very Good pre-loved vintage condition with age-appropriate wear consistent with display and use.
Felted bases show slight wear and there are minor surface irregularities consistent with early hand-finished art pottery production.
One of the figurines has a few divots missing in front of the flat area - See last two photos.
**** Please review all photos carefully for review of details and condition ****
All questions welcome!!
An great decorative statement for bookshelves, office décor, or collectors of Egyptian Revival.
***** Shipping overage will be refunded ****
