Fabulous Fauns
Item Description
Pair of wonderful bronze bookends titled “Petits Faunes en Serre-Livre”, both signed by the artist Paul Silvestre (1884-1976) and by Susse-Freres, Paris. Also with the Susse Freres foundry stamp.
Of a boy and girl faun, each in a different position and with delightful detail, particularly to the faces. We’ve not seen these too often and reckon them to be a bit special.
Around 12 cm long although the boy is just a little longer, he being 10 cm high and the girl around 9.5 cm. Dating from the 1930’s.
