About the Item
This elegant pair of Art Deco hand-carved alabaster bookends, crafted in France circa 1930, exquisitely captures the era's obsession with natural beauty, streamlined design, and artistic craftsmanship. Featuring the graceful forms of sirens—mythological creatures often associated with allure and mystique—these bookends are both functional objects and sculptural works of art.
Each bookend is meticulously sculpted from alabaster, showcasing the material's natural translucence and subtle veining, which adds depth and character to the pieces. The choice of alabaster highlights the Art Deco era's preference for luxurious and understated materials. The sirens are depicted with smooth, flowing lines that emerge from the hair of the figures and flows to form the base.
The bookends are both harmonious and dynamic, with the stylized sirens appearing poised and serene. The rhythmic, wave-like patterns evoke a sense of movement and fluidity, echoing the mythical connection to the sea.
As a pair, these alabaster bookends serve as functional decorative pieces, perfect for displaying alongside books or as standalone objects in a refined interior. Their timeless design and high level of craftsmanship make them ideal for collectors or those seeking to incorporate authentic Art Deco decor into their home. Styling beautifully in a wide array of spaces and settings, from Art Deco to Mid-Century Modernist and Contemporary Interiors, these bookends are in Excellent Vintage Condition.
