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!

For sale here is a wonderful rare vintage pull down school chart of. This chart is by Franz Engleder and was printed and distributed by JF Schrieber around the late 1800s to early 1900s. Width:(including poles):88cm. (canvas 79cm x 98cm). This lovely lithograph was made by German botanist Franz Engleder who was commissioned to produce 60 school charts spanning zoology and botany. It features lovely illustrations of the common frog and toad. Printed on paper it is backed with canvas and has black painted wooden poles top and bottom. This chart has spent most of its life rolled up in a school cupboard so the colours are still bright this is in part due to the painstaking lithographic technique of printing. This chart is not new, so please be sure to check all photos. There is wear in keeping with its age. This chart is in good condition though obviously there are some signs of wear most notably on the edges. I have strengthen ares of weakness with crossweave filament tape on the back to prevent any further wear. However some wear is to be expected, after all it is over 120 years old.
