Two fawns in bronzed spelter, heads tilted back towards the sky, legs extended in a suspended leap. They face each other, mirroring each other, as if caught at the same instant in the same pose. One imagines the clearing, the morning light, the broken silence. The forms are fluid, the movement expressive, and the dark brown patina with coppery highlights on the raised areas is characteristic of bronzed spelter from the 1930s. The bases of veined black marble, with their clean and geometric lines, firmly anchor the ensemble. This contrast between the warmth of the spelter and the cool minerality of the marble is a signature of the Art Deco aesthetic, where noble materials complement each other rather than oppose. Placed on a desk, a console table, or framing a row of antique books, these bookends bring a discreet and refined sculptural presence. Height approximately 13 cm, base length approximately 12 cm. Good condition, even patina, bases without chips. Circa .
