About the Item

Rare Gilt Art Deco Bookends by Ronson Art Metal Works – Chinese Children, circa 1920s–1930s An exceptional and rare pair of Art Deco bookends by Ronson Art Metal Works, New York City, circa 1920s–1930s. Expertly cast in white metal and finished in Ronson’s luxurious “Royal Old Gold” gilt, these vintage gilt metal bookends feature two charming Chinese children — a young boy standing over a seated girl reading a book. The sculptural design captures the refined elegance of the Art Deco period, with graceful lines, balanced composition, and subtle expression. The cold paint and warm gold gilt finish adds richness and sophistication, making this version particularly desirable among collectors of Ronson metalware and Art Deco décor.
