About this product
This is a pair of vintage Art Deco bookends by S. Morani, crafted from bronze and ceramic. Each bookend features a cherub child reclining and reading, with an antique bronze finish. Dating from the early 20th Century (1911-1940), these original pieces are signed by the artist. They measure 6 inches in height and length, and 4 inches in width, and are suitable for adult use in any room.
Our take
As an admirer of Art Deco aesthetics, these S. Morani bronze bookends are quite charming. The 'cherub child reclining reading' motif is a lovely touch, and the 'antique bronze' finish gives them an authentic vintage feel. Being 'original' pieces from the 'early 20th Century' and 'signed' by the artist adds to their collectible appeal. They are listed as 'used' which means some cosmetic wear is to be expected, but that often contributes to the character of such items. At 6 inches high, they're a good 'medium' size for holding books without being overly dominant on a shelf.
