About the Item

This striking pair of Art Deco Machine Age bookends, crafted circa 1935, embodies the streamlined, industrial aesthetic of the Machine Age period. Combining copper and walnut, this design is a perfect example of the genre's fusion of functionality and modernist art, emphasizing clean lines, bold geometric forms, and industrial materials. Each bookend features a sculptural loop-form design in polished copper, a hallmark of the Art Deco movement's fascination with metallic finishes and futuristic elements. The copper loops are mounted on rich, solid walnut bases, providing a warm contrast to the metallic sheen while grounding the design in natural beauty. The juxtaposition of materials reflects the Machine Age’s celebration of modern industry alongside organic elements. This pair is not only functional but serves as a statement piece, highlighting the innovative craftsmanship of the American Art Deco era. These bookends would elevate any collection of books, making them a perfect addition to a contemporary office, library, or Art Deco-inspired interior. Ideal for enthusiasts of Art Deco design, Machine Age artifacts, or vintage American decor, this pair of bookends is a beautiful and dynamic representation of the streamlined elegance and material innovation of the 1930s. They are a timeless piece of design history, perfect for both practical use and display. A stunning pair, these bookends are in Excellent Vintage Condition.
