A pair of bronze bookends depicting young goats.France, signed Pierre Laurel (1892 – 1962 ), foundryman Marcel Guillemard. France 1920

France circa 1920.

Embodying the vibrant energy of 1920s Paris, this exceptional pair of French Art Déco bookends showcases the finest traditions of modern animalier sculpture. Each piece captures a young goat in mid-leap, sculpturally frozen in a moment of striking dynamism with its head bowed in a stylized, spirited charge. The sharp, rhythmic lines and powerful tension of the figures are quintessential of the era’s bold aesthetic. Expertly cast in bronze with a rich, multi-toned brown patina, the sculptures rest upon solid, warm yellow of Siena marble bases that provide a sophisticated color contrast. Highly collectible, the set bears a double attribution: signed by the artist Pierre Laurel and stamped by the prestigious Parisian fondeur Marcel Guillemard alongside model number 16. France, 1920.
