Striking & Hand Carved, Stylized Wooden Art Deco Nude Female Sculpture Bookends

About the Item

Impressive and highly stylish female bookends, hand carved out nutwood. The artist who handcarved these wonderfully stylized, sitting female bookends has perfectly captured the natural posture of two sitting nude females. We are not sure if these bookends have something to do with synchronized swimming or if they are just pure Art Deco poses of that era. This very well carved pair with somewhat mysterious facial expressions certainly gets your imagination going and that is exactly what artworks are made to do. Therefor too these very artistic sculptures also make great talking pieces. This pair of Art Deco (or late Arts and Crafts) bookends is not signed and we were not able to find out who the artist behind this rare yet wonderful style is, but anyone with a good eye for well made art can see that these can only be the work of an accomplished and seasoned artist and sculptor. You will also seldomly come across works of art of such good quality and condition, because both these sculptural bookends could hardly be in better condition and they have a great patina. This rare and sizable pair will look great on your desk, side table, in your bookcase or wherever you prefer to have them on display. These works of art too are great value for money. Also, because perfect packing and delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days are complimentary (no matter where you live) on our beautiful planet. Maximum height x width x depth of the strongman bookend: 6.8 x 4.45 x 3.1 inches. We are driven by a passion for uniqueness, timeless, quality, stylish design, and the enduring craftsmanship of the past. Every purchase is carefully and thoughtfully packed — and we look forward to serving you (again). To explore all our 1000+ listings, simply click the button labeled 'View All From Seller'.

Rare Art Deco Bookends, Indian Sculptures in Meditating Position on Marble Base
Located in Lisse, NL
Unique on 1stdibs and possibly worldwide. It was in the early 20th century that meditation became known in Western society. Like many artists, the one who handcrafted the sculptures that were used to create these bookends probably traveled through Indonesia or India. These creative minds came back full of inspiration of all they had witnessed, because certainly back then, they entered a whole new world. The meditating males on these marble based bookends are made of silvered brass and the artist perfectly captured their serene faces, their turban head wear and their relaxed bodies. Sitting with their minds at rest and with their consciousness in the entire body or possibly focussed on breathing only, they would certainly arouse interest with western travelers...
