A Change in Perspective - Art Deco Nude Male Bookends by Godefridus Boonekamp, 1930s

$335.00

We so often see a posed, dancing female flapper. How fabulous is it to see a 1930’s man in all his form and glory.

Created in the 1930s by Dutch ceramicist Godefridus Boonekamp for Plateelbakkerij Schoonhoven, this unbelievable pair of Art Deco bookends captures everything we love about the period. Strong lines, sculptural simplicity and an unapologetic embrace of modern life.

This pair feels bold without being brash, playful without tipping into novelty. Exactly the kind of objects that spark conversation on a bookshelf or desk.

A brilliant piece for someone with a good sense of humour and even better taste. Any man or woman who appreciates design that blatantly challenges convention. Totally delicious.
