Art Deco Bookends: Dante Alighieri and Beatrice Portinari

Very Good
Description
Pompeian Bronze Company, [c. 1928] Pair of bookends featuring profiles of writer Dante Alighieri and his muse Beatrice Portinari, 1928 copyright date engraved to back of bookends, bronze with some blue and red color. Very good, with some tarnishing, and some fading to red and blue. Overall, a beautifully designed pair of Art Deco bookends. Italian writer Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) wrote The Divine Comedy (ca. 1308-1320), which follows the author's allegorical journey through hell, purgatory, and heaven, and is regarded as one of premier literary works in history. Beatrice Portinari (1266-1290), the love of Dante's life, was the subject of much of Dante's poetry and one of his guides in The Divine Comedy. Named after the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts that took place in Paris in 1925, Art Deco was a design movement that flourished in the 1920s and 1930s, characterized by sleekness and geometric lines, and influenced by industrialism, Cubism, Bauhaus, and archaeological discoveries, including King Tut's tomb in 1922. During the height of the movement, Art Deco bookends were popular objects to collect, due to their beauty, affordability, and practicality. Notably, New York City is home to a few of the world's most famous examples of Art Deco architecture: the Chrysler Building, the Empire State Building, and Rockefeller Center. This collection of Art Deco bookends features a wide and wonderful variety of designs and metal types. The sculpted works span historical figures like Roycroft arts-and-crafts community founder Elbert Hubbard (1856-1915), modern dance pioneer and inventor of the "Serpentine Dance" Loie Fuller (1862-1928), and the legendary literary pair Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) and his muse Beatrice Portinari (ca. 1265-1290). Other designs include lions, serpents, whales, seamen, puppies, and cherubs, among many others. The bookends were made by some of the most prominent American art metal companies of the first half of the 20th century, including PM Craftsman (est. 1911), Armor Bronze (est. 1910 as "National Metalizing Company"), Frankart (est. 1924), and Pompeian Bronze Company (est. 1889 as the "Galvano Bronze Company").. Bronze. Very Good. 4.5" x 2" x 5.5".
