Pair of eagle bookends in patinated bronze – Art Deco style

PRICE NON-NEGOTIABLE They have character, a lot of character indeed, and clearly, these two have no intention of letting your books escape. This very beautiful pair of bookends with eagle heads is made of spelter with a dark bronze patina. The craftsmanship is particularly successful: finely modelled plumage, beautiful reliefs, expressive gazes, and a lovely depth of patina. They are quite heavy, stable, and of good quality. Thus, we are indeed looking at true functional bookends, not just two decorative objects striking a pose. The model fully embraces the Art Deco vocabulary, with a 20th-century manufacture. A very decorative pair of bookends on a wooden desk, they are stunning. In a library, they immediately add character to a row of beautiful books. And simply placed on a console or piece of furniture in an entrance, they become almost two small sculptures. The dark bronze patina is particularly elegant. The slightly lighter reliefs highlight the design of the plumage and give a lot of depth to the two eagles. Details: pair of bookends with eagle heads, spelter with bronze patina, 20th-century manufacture, Art Deco style, beautiful quality of craftsmanship, heavy and stable model, detailed work on the plumage, sold only as a pair, signs of time and use consistent with their age. Non-negotiable.
