About the Item
France / 1930 / bookends / ceramics / Art Deco
A charming pair of French Art Deco ceramic bookends from the 1930s, these sculptural pieces capture the period’s signature blend of stylization, geometry, and playful elegance. Each bookend features a beautifully modeled elephant, rendered with angular, faceted forms that echo the bold lines and streamlined aesthetic of the era.
Executed in a soft cream-colored glaze with fine craquelure throughout, the surfaces display the appealing texture and character typical of early 20th-century ceramics. Their balanced weight and sturdy construction make them both functional and decorative, perfect for supporting books or serving as whimsical accents on a shelf or desk.
A delightful addition to any Art Deco collection, these bookends offer personality, craftsmanship, and a touch of French 1930s charm.
