This set of bookends, attributed to Roy Dodge, features a stylized horse's head in the characteristic Art Deco style. The design, often referred to as 'Trojan Horses', stands out due to the powerful, geometric lines and streamlined manes typical of the design language of that period. The objects are crafted from bronze and feature a warm, golden patina that emphasizes the sculptural form. The heavy base ensures stability, making them not only a decorative but also a functional addition to a library or desk. The detailed finish of the horse heads reflects the craftsmanship of the early twentieth century. The bookends are in good condition with an authentic character. The original finish has been preserved and displays a natural aging consistent with the age of the material. These bronze bookends look excellent in a classic or Art Deco interior. They form a refined accent on a wooden desk, a sideboard, or in an open bookcase, where they both support literature and add a sculptural element to the space.
