A Pair of Art Deco French Squirrel Bookends on Marble Base Signed

Title A Rare Pair of French Art Deco Bronze Squirrel Bookends by Tedo on Marble Bases Selling Description An exceptional and decorative pair of French Art Deco bronze squirrel bookends, signed Tedo, each finely cast with charming detail and expressive form. The squirrels are depicted crouched and alert, their beautifully modelled tails rising in elegant curves, capturing both movement and character in a manner typical of high-quality Art Deco animal sculpture. Each bronze figure is mounted on a substantial veined marble base, providing both visual contrast and excellent weight for practical use as bookends. The bronzes retain a rich, naturally aged patina, enhancing the sculptural detail and depth, while the marble bases show attractive colour variation consistent with the period. Both bookends are clearly signed to the bronze, confirming authorship. They present in excellent vintage condition, with no damage or repairs noted, and display superbly from all angles. A highly desirable and decorative pair, equally suited to an Art Deco interior, library, or collector of period sculpture. Dimensions (each) approx.: 12cm high x 11cm wide x 7cm deep.
