Art Deco Bulldog bookends by the renowned French sculptor Franjou (Hippolyte Moreau), created between 1910 and 1920.
This exceptional pair perfectly embodies the strength and refinement of early Art Deco design, capturing the distinctive character of the bulldog in a pose of power and calm.
Made of spelter with a warm patina, the figures are mounted on black veined marble bases that highlight the contrast between metal and stone. Each Art Deco Bulldog displays remarkable expressiveness — from the sulphur glass eyes to the finely sculpted claws — reflecting Franjou’s mastery in giving life to animal forms.
A true collector’s piece and an authentic representation of French Art Deco sculpture, these bookends combine decorative elegance with historical value.
Perfect for libraries, offices, or interior spaces that seek timeless sophistication and a touch of artistic personality.
