Antique Art Deco 1920s French Harlequin Bookend

Description: Antique Art Deco 1920s Harlequin French Bookend This beautifully detailed hand-painted French Art Deco Harlequin bookend adds a touch of antique 1920s charm to your bookshelves. A great accent piece for enthusiast of art deco décor, a collector of unique bookends, or simply looking for a distinctive addition to your home.The Harlequin is seated thoughtfully on top of a stack of books while leaning with it's chin on its left hand, possibly a clever nod to Rodin's The Thinker. Based on the diamond-patterned costume and its thoughtful, contemplative posture, this bookend is most likely depicting a Harlequin rather than Jester/Joker which would have more exaggerated garb from the medieval time. Harlequin, a character with Italian origins, was popular in French art and culture, especially during the Art Deco period. The Harlequin figure was embraced in French art, particularly in theater and decorative arts. French artists often depicted Harlequins in various forms, including sculptures, paintings, and decorative objects. In great pre-owned condition - no chips, or cracks. The bookends have wear consistent with use and age including a spot of wear near the spine of the green book and on the left shoulder as pictured.
