Spelter Bookends Help

Hi,
I took these apart and they are made of spelter on a marble base. The base is 3" x 4".
To me they look like a bird - would these be 1950/60s or earlier?
Any information appreciated.
Thanks for looking

 

They are birds......I'd say 1920's.....but base my thoughts purely on speculation, hearsay, & seeing the dark side of the moon for the 1st time.

The red felt on the bottom was likely placed there in the 60's or 70's when folks decided they didn't want their metal and stone carvings marring up the furniture .

 

Not signed? I've seen these signed Gallot.

 

they're really sweet !!!

 

Thanks folks.
No signature that I could see. I took them apart, nothing underneath.
So we agree they are birds, yea After my pipe thread I was worried I might have been seeing things on these, lol.

 

No....they are most certainly birds !!!

Pretty birds !!!

 

Thanks komokwa!

 

Sure CX...my pleasure...
So...am I seeing art deco here..? or art nervous....??

 

I'd look closer for the signature, it could be faint with that applied verdigris.
Here is where to look.

 

Thank-you anund, you are right On looking closer there are some marks there but very hard to make out. The marks are in the same space on each one so I believe it is a signature.
Here is a set (minus the applied verdigris) that sold on etsy https://www.etsy.com/listing/257497655/art-deco-spelter-and-marble-bookends-by

 

I like yours better than any of the Gallot bookends shown in google images.

 

Thanks, I do too! They might be keepers for me.
