The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

Popularised during the 1920s and 1930s, Pierrot and Pierrette figures stem from French pantomime and Italian commedia dellarte traditions. In the Art Deco period, designers adapted these theatrical characters into stylised ceramic ornaments characterised by sleek lines, bold monochrome schemes, and bright accent colours.

Art Deco bookends were frequently crafted from glazed earthenware, porcelain, moulded spelter, bronze, or marble. Ceramic examples often featured hand-painted enamel decoration, cold-painted accents, and gilt detailing applied over a glazed white base.

Authentic 1930s ceramic bookends typically exhibit fine craquelure in the glaze, hollow underside construction, and subtle hand-applied paint application around small details. Look for makers marks, impressed shape numbers, or country of origin stamps on the base.

Position ceramic bookends on open shelving, a mantelpiece, or a dark wood console table to create visual contrast. Grouping them with minimalist books or placing them symmetrically around modern art prints highlights their geometric Art Deco silhouette.

Dust the ceramics regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid soaking in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as moisture can penetrate hairline glaze crazing and damage any cold-painted or gilt embellishments.
