]]> Art Deco Bronze Owl Bookends “Philosophie” – Marcel Bouraine, 1925

A rare and refined pair of Art Deco bronze bookends titled “Philosophie”, created by the renowned French sculptor Marcel André Bouraine, circa 1925.
These elegant bookends depict stylized owls perched upon a stack of books, symbolizing wisdom and knowledge—an iconic and intellectual motif within the Art Deco movement. The composition reflects Bouraine’s mastery in combining sculptural dynamism with geometric clarity.
Cast in high-quality bronze with a sophisticated silvered and patinated finish, the pieces exhibit a rich surface texture and depth.
The bookends are signed “M. Bouraine,” ensuring authenticity and collectability.

These bookends are illustrated in
