About the Item

Peculiar and original pair of bookends birds in Art Deco style; they were produced in a craft workshop in Saint-Ouen, a characteristic suburb of Paris, France, between 1925 and 1927; the Master Craftsmen, for the shape of the little birds, were inspired by the tufted magpie (Calocitta Formosa) and executed them with a sophisticated casting of a metal alloy, then finished them by hand giving the little birds a delicate and graceful appearance, they succeeded in subduing the metal to their refined artistic sense creating two unique and fantastic objects, then, with their trademark inventiveness and sensitivity, subjected them to a delicate and complex secret gilding treatment, while the casting of the bush on which they rest was treated with special acids to make them take on elegant bronze hues, creating a pleasing contrast; Giallo Siena marble was used for the rectangular base. Giallo Siena marble is a natural stone, typical of the Sienese mountains, certainly, one of the most famous and beautiful colored marbles in Italy appreciated since antiquity for important facing, decorative objects, and jewelry. The Sienese hills are composed of sedimentary metamorphic rocks formed over millennia as a result of movements of the earth's crust; this location gives Giallo Siena its main peculiarity: each slab undoubtedly can be considered a unique piece. The combination of fine workmanship and the preciousness of the materials made these bookends unique and exclusive. The two items are in good condition, the green cloth under the base has some stains (see photo). Measures width cm.15, depth cm.8, height cm.10. For all our shipments we use special packaging materials (wooden crates, styrofoam, etc.) for maximum protection and safety of the objects.
