About the Item
Glamorous Hollywood Regency or Palm Beach–style bookends featuring sculptural antelopes and palm trees in patinated metal, set on solid pink breccia marble bases; France, circa 1920s–1940s, exceptionally heavy and finely detailed.
This striking pair of figural bookends exemplifies the glamour that defines the Art Deco era. Each composition features a stylized palm tree rising behind a reclining antelope, rendered in richly patinated gilt metal and mounted on substantial veined marble bases. The sculptural silhouettes and balanced symmetry give the pair a strong architectural presence, whether displayed on a desk, console, or bookshelf.
The design reflects the period’s fascination with idealized nature and far-flung locales — motifs that became central to both Art Deco interiors and the later Hollywood Regency aesthetic. The palm trees introduce vertical movement and rhythm, while the antelope figures add a sense of repose and elegance, their elongated forms echoing the streamlined sensibilities of the era.
The metal elements are notably heavy and finely cast, with crisp detailing throughout, suggesting high-quality early 20th-century production. While the exact alloy is unmarked (brass or perhaps spelter), the weight and finish are consistent with luxury decorative objects of the 1920s-1940s, a time when sculptural bookends were often produced as statement pieces rather than purely utilitarian objects.
The marble bases, cut from richly pink breccia marble with natural veining, provide both visual contrast and physical stability. Their mass anchors the sculptural elements above, reinforcing the sense of permanence and craftsmanship that collectors seek in period decorative arts.
These are “shelf statement” objects: substantial in hand, architectural on a console or desk, and ideal for today’s layered library styling—from Art Deco revival to Hollywood Regency or even Palm Beach.
