A stunning and rare pair of original early 20thC (1920’s) art Nouveau / Art Deco French Silvered Copper Toad Bookends on heavy solid grey marble bases. There is an engraved plaque on each stating the sculptor’s name as S. BIZARE – actually a misspell of the actual sculptor’s name Suzanne Bizard 1873 – 1973 (due to the silent “d” no doubt). Each piece is in similar age related condition with copper showing through the silver plating and age related polish and dirt created a charming original age related patina. There is Ageworn red velvet applied to the marble base. Size 12cm high x 16cm long x 10cm wide. They are both very solid and heavy – my scales only go up to 1 kilo – I imagine that these weigh approx 2 – 3 kg each. Later ceramic versions of these bookends were produced in the mid 20thC century but this pair are the original 1920’s fully cast silvered copper versions on solid marble bases and are therefore highly decorative and original – please refer to the photos thanks! A superb addition to any bookends / toad collection!
