A striking pair of Art Deco bookends featuring elegant swans with slender, gracefully curved necks and beautifully sculpted outstretched wings. The figures are crafted from brass and dark metal, finished with subtle golden highlights that bring out the intricate details of the sculptures.
Each swan is mounted on a geometric base made of light-coloured marble with distinctive orange and rust-toned veining. The clean, architectural lines of the stone bases create a beautiful contrast with the fluid, organic forms of the metal figures.
These sculptural bookends would make an elegant addition to a library, study or living room. They work particularly well in Art Deco, vintage and eclectic interiors, while also providing an interesting decorative accent in more contemporary spaces. Combining practical function with sculptural appeal, they reflect the decorative sensibilities and refined craftsmanship associated with the Art Deco period.
The pair is preserved in very good vintage condition. The brass figures have developed a beautiful natural patina. One of the marble bases has a small chip to one corner. Otherwise, the set presents very well. Both figures retain their original "Made in France" markings.
