Pair of Art Deco Gilt Iron WPA Style Foundry Men Bookends Signed NMF 1936 USA, 1936 A rare and striking pair of Art Deco gilt iron bookends, crafted in 1936 during the WPA era and American Deco period. These sculptural bookends are a fine example of the era's unique blend of Greco-Roman classical art with modern industrial design. Each bookend stands 10.5 inches high, 6.5 inches wide, and 2.75 inches deep, featuring a subtly detailed silhouette of a muscular, shirtless foundryman pouring molten metal into a crucible. The design captures the strength and dignity of the working man, a theme prevalent during the WPA period, which sought to honor and celebrate American labor through art. The gilt iron finish adds a touch of elegance and durability, ensuring these pieces are both functional and visually captivating. Each bookend is stamped with "NMF" on the left side and the date "1936" on the right, confirming their authenticity and historical significance. This rare pair of bookends is not only a functional accessory but also a piece of American history, reflecting the spirit of the 1930s. Ready to be placed and enjoyed, they make a perfect addition to any collection of Art Deco or WPA-era memorabilia...
