Pair of Art Deco bookends with swans in spelter and black marble – France, 1930s

Elegant pair of bookends depicting two stylized swans, made in France in the Art Deco style of the 1930s.

Each piece, made of patinated spelter, features a refined contrast between a deep black body and golden details highlighting the elongated necks and finely stylized wings. The perfect symmetry of the pair enhances its visual impact and makes it a particularly balanced decorative element.

The swans rest on veined black marble bases, bringing stability and character to the set. An original "Marbrerie d’Art L.C. Saint-Étienne" plate is present, attesting to quality French production.

Both decorative and functional, these bookends fit equally well in a library, on a desk, or a console table, in an Art Deco, contemporary, or eclectic interior.

Height: 11 cm
Width: 12 cm

Good overall condition. Note a slight chip on one corner of the marble (See macro photo), discreet and without affecting stability or overall aesthetics.
