Pair of Greenhouse Bookends Art Deco Wrought Iron stamped Zadounaïsky
Located in NANTES, FR
Pair of greenhouses wrought iron bookends stamped Zadounaisky.
In very good shape.
Measures: Height: 12.4 cm
Length: 16 cm
Width: 4 cm
Weight: 3,250 kg
Son of Russian emigrants, Michel Zadounaisky moved to France in 1916.
In 1920, he discovered wrought iron work by joining the Fournet chandelier factory. He also devotes himself to embossing in the round, that is to say the confrontation with metal with the sole tool of a hammer, and with the help of fire, techniques in which he is a past master. In 1924, he opened his first studio in Lyon and worked there until 1953, when he became one of the emblematic figures of Lyon's decorative arts.
From the 1930s, his theme was personalized, and appeared a whole bestiary of animals sometimes bordering on the fantastic and the strange.
Naturalized in 1948, Michel Zadounaisky continues to create, in close and intimate collaboration with Buer (binder) and Dumaine (glassmaker), objects intended for a wealthy and enlightened clientele. Eager to abolish the boundary between the liberal arts and the useful arts, he is a craftsman, an artist, and perhaps the only Art Deco iron sculptor...

Antique, New and Vintage Bookends
A good pair of antique, new or vintage bookends will look wonderful in your reading nook. And the need for these trusty home accents has stood the test of time, which means there are many different kinds to suit any design taste or furniture style.
Bookends weren’t created until the 1870s. Serving faithfully in the background, they went unobserved for a while. The authors of the Oxford English Dictionary report that the term “book end” didn’t appear in printed material until 1907. The primary function of bookends is to ensure that your books remain upright in your bookcase, but style and form have taken the lead over the years. Furniture makers have ensured that bookends demand as much attention as the books themselves. Indeed, while competing with carefully curated first editions or rows of colorful spines is no small task, plenty of bookends steal the stage.
If you’re looking to add a dose of intrigue or decorative flourish to your reading room that will be difficult to ignore, stone bookends and metal bookends can take on the appearance of small, provocative sculptures rather than functional accessories to keep your books orderly on your shelves. Depending on what kind of textures you’re thinking of introducing to your home office or study, a pair of brass bookends or a bronze set will pop against your dusty hardcovers and any decorative objects you’ve accumulated while working to style your bookcase. A pair of mid-century modern bookends carved from dark, exotic woods such as teak can also introduce warmth to a home office or study. While teak was a favorite of designers who worked with furniture in the mid-20th century, all manner of wood bookends have emerged over the years, with some woodworkers carving ornate patterns or figures into their pieces.
Bookworms, take note: You can find an extraordinary range of antique, new and vintage bookends for your dazzling book displays and bookshelves today on 1stDibs.
