Superb pair of Art Deco bookends (circa 1930) with high-end and sculptural design. Each piece features a bird of paradise, a typical creation from the great Parisian art foundries of the 1930s, with its wings spread wide.

The heavy metal sculpture with dual silver and bronze patina rests on a geometric base made of genuine onyx of exceptional purity, displaying honey and cream tones. The chiseled work of the plumage and stylized vegetation perfectly embodies the dynamism and refinement of the modernist period. These finely crafted art objects are ideal for enhancing a collection library or adding a touch of retro prestige to a characterful desk. Manufacturer: Grande Fonderie Parisienne (Style Le Verrier).
