About the Item
Rare pair of original, American made, Marked, Native American / Indian bookends.
In the earliest years of the 1900s a lady artisan working out of New York created these now very rare Americana. Little else is known about this artist and her work which made us even happier to have found this rare pair. As so often is the case, we don't know how they made their way to the Netherlands, but we are happy they came our way, also, because that will increase their chances of going home again soon. These rare and culturally historical American Native bookends are in very good condition and ready to be used and enjoyed. All we could find out about them is that they are made of golden-bronze plated metal and that they are known as 'ambush' bookends. These Arts and Crafts era, works of sculptural art bookends will make great decorative bookends on a desk, in a bookcase or in your display cabinet if you collect rare and stylish bookends with a cultural historical history to them.
In our view these too are great value for money. Also, because our fair price includes perfect packing and also worldwide shipping from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days.
Maximum height x width x depth: 7 x 5.3 x 5.3 inches.
We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again).

Rare Art Deco Bookends, Indian Sculptures in Meditating Position on Marble Base
Located in Lisse, NL
Unique on 1stdibs and possibly worldwide.
It was in the early 20th century that meditation became known in Western society. Like many artists, the one who handcrafted the sculptures that were used to create these bookends probably traveled through Indonesia or India. These creative minds came back full of inspiration of all they had witnessed, because certainly back then, they entered a whole new world. The meditating males on these marble based bookends are made of silvered brass and the artist perfectly captured their serene faces, their turban head wear and their relaxed bodies. Sitting with their minds at rest and with their consciousness in the entire body or possibly focussed on breathing only, they would certainly arouse interest with western travelers...
