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

Produced predominantly during the 1920s and 1930s, Art Deco spelter bookends feature stylised figurative or animal motifs mounted on heavy mineral or marble bases.

These pieces typically utilise speltera zinc alloy cast and finished with patinationmounted onto polished marble, onyx, or stone plinths for weight and stability.

Authentic examples display characteristic geometric or streamlined naturalistic forms, subtle surface patination, and visible fixing screws beneath the marble base.

Place them on a bookshelf, mantelpiece, or executive desk to frame literary volumes or serve as standalone sculptural decorative objects.

Dust gently with a soft dry cloth, avoiding harsh chemical sprays, water, or abrasive cleaners that could damage the metal patination or etch the marble surface.
