A rare pair of Art Deco bookends made probably in the late 1920's , early 30's. Original and with patent applied for mark. Both are in very good condition with no damage to note just what seems like normal wear one would expect. The bases have old felt which is a bit battered but original none the less and still doing the intended job. Not sure what the base metal is, doesn't seem heavy enough for solid brass so probably a mixed white metal such as spelter. Fabulous collectors pieces, nice size too. Offered with free UK mainland delivery.
BIO
Arthur Frankenberg began designing and producing bookends in New York City in 1921. In 1924, he, incorporated under the name FRANKART, INC. As a designer and sculptor, Frankenberg created some of the company’s most stylized Art Deco and Art Nouveau pieces.
After a dispute with his partners in 1930, he left the company, changed his name to Von Frankenberg, and founded QUOIZEL Metal Art Company. He took some of his designs with him to Quoizel, and placed them on marble or onyx bases, as the metal bases were already stamped with the Frankart name.
Quoizel was in business for less than a year, closing in late1931. Frankart closed in 1935.
