French Belle Epoch Antoine Bourdelle Sculptural Pair of Bookends Patinated Bronze Edmond Etling & Cie Foundry, Paris ca. 1910 DIMENSIONS Height: 7.5 inches Width: 3.33 inches Depth: 3.33 inches MARKINGS Same markings are present on the plinths of both bookends: Signed 'A. Bourdelle’. Stamped ‘Edmond Etling & Cie Foundry, Paris’ ABOUT BOOKENDS This exquisite pair of bookends, created by the renowned French sculptor Antoine Bourdelle, epitomizes the grace and emotional depth of the Belle Époque era. Each bookend is a remarkable sculpture in its own right, yet when placed together, they form an inseparable narrative composition, bound by a shared plot. One bookend captures the passionate embrace of Harlequin and his mistress, a tender yet intense moment frozen in time. The second bookend portrays Pierrot, lost in the anguish of jealousy, his expression and posture radiating sorrow and longing. Together, these two figurative sculptures create a dramatic scene, where the books they support become part of the stage set, acting as a barrier between the characters—much like a stage wall in a theatrical performance. The interplay of emotion and movement in this captivating sculptural pair makes it a true masterpiece, seamlessly blending art with functionality.
