This pair of Art Deco bookends dates from 1920 and takes the form of stylised dog figures constructed from natural bamboo stems mounted onto carved dark wooden L-shaped bases with scalloped border details. The rich warm brown timber displays a polished finish with nice old patination, complemented by glass eyes on the animal figures. Measuring 15 cm high, 11.5 cm wide and 9.5 cm deep, each piece combines utility with whimsical animal form. These decorative supports suit a gentleman's library or study, positioned securely on a bookshelf to hold volumes upright while adding a characterful touch to the interior display.

FAQs

Art Deco accessories from the 1920s often combined functional purpose with stylized decorative elements, frequently featuring geometric lines, stylized animal motifs, and natural organic materials such as bamboo, bone, and carved hardwoods.

These pieces typically utilized cut bamboo stems and roots to form the figurative dog body and limbs, mounted onto weighted carved hardwood bases such as oak or mahogany to support heavy volumes.

Authentic period pieces display natural age patina, fine hand-carving marks along the edges, original joins using small wooden pegs or hidden fasteners, and uniform surface wear on the base undersides.

Place them on a dark wood bookshelf, side table, or executive desk to organize a collection of books while adding tactile texture and historical interest to the room scheme.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft cloth and keep them away from direct heat sources and excessive humidity to prevent the natural bamboo and timber from cracking or warping.
