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 white onyx. The whole offers a beautiful balance between functionality and decorative sculpture. Some signs of wear and rare chips. Height 13.5cm. Depth 5.5cm. Width 12.5cm. Weight 1.840kg.
