About the Item

A striking pair of Art Deco period bookends executed in beautifully banded onyx marble, featuring warm cream and honey tones contrasted with dramatic brown veining and subtle green stone inlay accents. The architectural stepped form reflects the geometric elegance characteristic of the Machine Age aesthetic of the 1920s–1930s. Each bookend is constructed from carefully cut slabs of natural calcite stone, polished to a soft luminous finish that highlights the material’s natural translucency. The bases are raised on original circular brass feet, adding both visual refinement and functional stability. These sculptural objects serve equally well as decorative accents or functional book supports and embody the timeless appeal of early 20th-century decorative stone craftsmanship. Likely produced in Mexico for export to the European and American markets during the Art Deco period. Some small chips, but overall in good vintage condition.
