About the Item

An exceptional pair Art Nouveau American Egyptian revival bronze bookends by M Carr dating from around 1910. The heavily cast bookends have a flat shaped base mounted with two molded Egyptian mummy columns supporting a panel molded with a three stem plant in a pot with seed heads to two stems. The bookends have original green velvet applied to the bases and both are signed M Carr to the foot of one of the columns. Both are also marked CAST BY GRIFFOUL, NEWARK, N.J. to the lower back edge. From our research we have found similar examples described as made for Tiffany however there are no markings on these indicating that this is the case. Both retain a wonderful rich brown aged patina. In good condition with light wear associated with age and use.

Egyptian Antique Bronze Seated Statue of Harpokrates
Located in Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire
An interesting and unusual Egyptian bronze seated figure portraying the youthful god Harpokrates (Horus the child). The figure sits unclothed with legs bent and both arms resting by his sides. His face is indistinctly molded with a wide nose and with a sidelock of hair. He wears a Pschent crown. The figure, which is removable, has a later carved and fitted oak throne. The figure has an all over black patina. The figure does have some antique age although may be an Egyptian revival piece and would benefit from further research. We are therefore offering this as a later example and priced accordingly. Harpokrates was one of the most popular deities in the Egyptian pantheon. He was the offspring...
