About the Item

The striking mid-century Egyptian Revival bookends in glazed ceramic with a dramatic two-tone palette of deep navy blue and metallic gold. Made in France circa 1950s, these sculptural figures depict seated pharaoh-like forms holding a square tablet, evoking both Art Deco geometry and ancient Egyptian symbolism. Each figure is stylized with smooth, rounded lines and a minimalistic silhouette, finished with a high-gloss glaze. The contrast between the dark, inky blue ceramic and the bold gilded elements adds a regal and sophisticated presence. The set functions beautifully as decorative bookends or sculptural accents, ideal for a curated bookshelf or console display.
