About the Item

These sophisticated Art Deco Machine Age bookends, crafted circa 1935, embody the sleek design and industrial innovation characteristic of their era. Signed Revere, a renowned manufacturer celebrated for its high-quality and cutting-edge metalwork, these bookends are exemplary pieces of Machine Age functional artistry. The bookends feature bold spherical forms coated in polished black enamel, which contrast beautifully with the lustrous spring steel spiral motifs. This aesthetic pairing of materials reflects the Art Deco movement’s penchant for combining industrial design elements with luxurious finishes. The geometric silhouette is a perfect nod to the modernist sensibilities of the 1930s, capturing the clean lines and streamlined forms influenced by both architecture and technology of the time. Signed with the Revere hallmark, these bookends boast not only exceptional craftsmanship but also historical significance as products from one of the pioneering American companies specializing in metal designs during the Machine Age. They serve as both functional objects to support and display books and as decorative items that enhance any space with a touch of vintage sophistication. Perfect for collectors of Art Deco and Machine Age designs, or those seeking a unique accent for their modern interior décor, these bookends are timeless pieces that combine elegance with utilitarian design. Whether used on a shelf or desk, they exemplify the harmonious blend of artistry and industrial prowess that defined the era. In Good Vintage Condition.
