Bookends by Art Deco sculptor Fayral circa 1930.
These are usually described as being Gerdago, who never sculpted these at all.
These were sculpted by Fayral probably as bookends, at least that is what I have found out after searching books on bronzes, and seeing some photos. They were continued as bookends by the JB Hirsch Foundry who made most of the bookends that found their way in North America.
I am still on the lookout and wanting to buy more when the funds do not escape me.
Art Deco BronzeBronze bookends, ashtrays, and inkwells were plentiful during the Art Deco …

Beautiful Pixies! These are the most beautiful items I have seen on Collector's Weekly! Or anywhere! Really, they could not have a better home to live in. Thank you for letting me see them.
Hirsch usually did a lamp or a clock to go with these, I have a pirate set of a lamp, clock, and one bookend, and the lady in red clock has garnitures that I have seen and am trying to get my hand on, he also did a lamp for the lady in red set that I have seen. Hirsch seems to produce in sets.
