ANTIQUE FIGURAL BOOKENDS ART DECO ERA MARKED PAIR NR

Offered for auction with no reserve is a pair of antique figural bookends / statues.  Large, solid antique chalkware figures featuring a seated Siamese man and woman in traditional attire.  These are old Decorative Arts pieces from the Art Deco era - estimated circa 1930’s.

Each has been beautifully hand painted in rich blue with gold accents.  These are early originals, not reproductions - the female figure is marked with copyright symbol and text that I’m unable to read on the backside as shown in photo 7.

Substantial, heavy and generously sized - each measures 8 ½‘ tall in seated position.  Base is 6 ¾” across.  Combined weight is over five pounds.  In great vintage condition with no major issues - the only exception of note is some paint loss that is consistent with advanced age as shown.  Display as-is with their wonderfully aged character or paint may be touched up if desired.  A rare find - these old beauties are becoming harder and harder to find. 

Excellent for use as bookends -- these will also command attention when used strictly for display.  Especially nice antiques for a Hollywood Regency, Art Deco, Asian-inspired or Mid Century Modern home.   Offered for auction with a low $9.99 starting bid price with NO reserve!  Happy Bidding...
