Classic and balanced geometric Art Deco marble and onyx bookends, dating from circa 1930.
The marble is a lovely veined cream and tan and likely French or Italian in origin, either Giallo Siena or a cream Breccia. It is paired with inlaid disks of black Nero Marquina marble or Belgian black slate/onyx.
The form has a strong Art Deco feel, with high contrast geometric shapes resting on a thick rectangular plinth. It has a bold art deco aesthetic and chic profile. The inset black disk against the veined cream stone is a quintessential 1930s French design motif popularised by avant-garde designers such as Jacques Adnet, Jean-Michel Frank and Mallet-Stevens.
