Description

Charming Pair of Early 20th Century Bronze & Marble Bookends

A fabulous pair of early 20th-century bronze and marble bookends, each depicting a delightful putto seated astride a marble plinth. The figures are beautifully modelled, with pleasing detail and a warm patinated finish that contrasts elegantly with the marble bases.

Each marble plinth features a subtle concave depression, making them not only ideal as bookends but also practical for holding small trinkets or desk accessories.

Unsigned, yet very well made, these pieces are likely French in manufacture and display excellent craftsmanship and proportion.

Standing approximately 17 cm tall, they are highly decorative and would make an attractive addition to a study, library, or mantel display.

Condition: Offered in very good condition, with only minor age-related wear consistent with period.

A stylish and versatile decorative pair with both charm and functionality.

Date of Manufacture

Lee Sherman Antiques has dated this piece to the 1920s.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
