About the Item
Beautifully detailed, with a gorgeous deep patina, this rare pair of bronze bookends by Oscar Bach depict girls holding geese by the neck, like something out of a charming nursery rhyme. The figures were cast separately from and placed in front of the foliate backdrop, so the girls cast a shadow on the screen behind, creating a wonderful sense of three-dimensionality. Each bookend is marked on the reverse with the classic Bach script.

History:
Louis Aronson while still a student in the mid 1880s, registered his first patent for the electroplating of metal. In 1886, he sold his patent, raising $5,000, to start the Art Metal Company in New York City. The following year, he moved the company to Newark, NJ and changed the name to Art Metal Works.
Ronson is best known for cigarette lighters, he invented the “safety match” in 1897, and the first mechanical cigarette lighter in 1910.

In 1915, he copyrighted his first pair of bookends, and by 1936 had over 150 copyrighted bookends in his company catalog. By 1928 the company was traded on the American stock exchange...
