Stylish Deco Lady with Fawn and Borzoi – Designed by Peter Manfredi – Made by Pompeian Bronze, New York – 1920’s.

Short Description

Simply the most stunning set of original bookends we have had. Exceedingly rare – not included in the key reference by Kuritsky and De Costa.

Based in Brooklyn New York the business registered thirty copyrights for bookends – the last in 1930. Peter Manfredi was their top designer.

Most bookends pairs are either identical or a reflection; rare as with this set to have a different subject for each. Clearly a pair because of the consistent and striking colouring and uniform patina.

Original Pompeian Bronze label to the base of one.

Very intricate designs hard to give them justice in the images. A trifle sign of age, overall in super condition for circa 100 years old.

Large by usual standards – 23 cm high – circa 25 cm in length, hefty 2.7 kg the pair. Dependent on location there will likely be a postage supplement as they pack big for safety.

Extremely Rare design by Peter Manfredi – 1920’s
