About the Item

Boost your interior with this rare and striking pair of Art Deco crackled ceramic bookends, exquisitely designed by renowned French animal artist Le Moine. Crafted in France circa 1930, these remarkable sculptures embody the elegance and bold geometry characteristic of the Art Deco period. The off-white, crackled glaze ceramic composition captures a timeless aesthetic, while the contrasting black enameled glaze application adds a dramatic depth to the elephant figures. Their Cubist-inspired design reflects the avant-garde artistry of the era, making them a true treasure for collectors. Each bookend is marked "Le Moine" on the base, a testament to its authenticity, while an additional "VF" designer's mark on the underside hints at a possible manufacturer's hallmark. A perfect fusion of sophistication and artistic mastery, these bookends serve not only as functional pieces but also as stunning sculptural accents that enhance any interior with their historic charm and refined elegance. Secure this extraordinary library set and bring an undeniable touch of Art Deco prestige into your home. Dimensions: 4.75 in wide (12 cm) by 4.32 in deep (11 cm) by 6.69 in high (17 cm).
