Georges LIMOUSIN Art Deco Griffin Bookends 1920
About the Item
French Art Deco griffin bookends by Georges LIMOUSIN (Paris), France, early 1920s. Crafted from spelter and marble, these bookends feature majestic griffins, a striking symbol of strength and elegance, typical of the Art Deco style. Each bookend measures approximately 6.3" (16 cm) in width, 7.4" (18.8 cm) in height, and 4.5" (11.5 cm) in depth. The signature 'Limousin.G' is marked on the base, with 'France' indicated at the top. These bookends are a rare and beautiful example of French craftsmanship from the early 20th century.
Georges Limousin (1898–1981) was a French sculptor known for his contributions to the Art Deco movement. Born in 1898 in Paris, he studied at the prestigious École des Beaux-Arts, where he honed his skills in sculpture and developed a distinctive style that blended traditional techniques with modern aesthetics.
Limousin's works were primarily produced during the 1920s and 1930s, a period when the Art Deco style was at its peak. He specialized in creating dynamic sculptures that often featured animals, particularly mythical creatures like griffins, which became a recurring motif in his work.
Georges Limousin’s work remains an interesting part of 20th-century French sculpture, with his pieces being found in private collections and museums worldwide. He passed away in 1981, but his legacy as a key figure in the Art Deco movement endures.
