Weather Bookends Gold Starry - Marble & Gold - Functional

Pair of weather-themed bookends from the prestigious French house Gold Starry (circa 1950-1960). Double Function: 1. Bookends: Very stable and heavy due to their solid black marble bases. 2. Weather Station: A thermometer and a barometer, both fully functional. Design: "Wing" structures in ribbed gold metal, typical of the style of the era. In very good condition. The gilding is brilliant. Note a small chip on the corner of one marble base (see photo 3), which is not very visible once in place. Origin: Excellent French craftsmanship. Marked "Gold Starry" under the base.
