pair of marble and onyx Art Deco bookends

Superb pair of Art Deco bookends, characterised by a bold geometric design and noble materials. The composition combines clean circular shapes with a structured base, typical of the aesthetic of the 1920s-1930s. Made from black marble and onyx in natural shades, these bookends play on the contrasts between the depth of black and the translucent softness of onyx. The finely crafted base features an inlaid geometric decoration that reinforces the Art Deco identity of the piece. The whole offers a beautiful balance between functionality and decorative sculpture. A chip on the edge of the black marble disc. Very rare nicks. Weight 2.440kg.
