Hollywood Blvd Cinema Memorabilia
Lot 1482:
Description
These striking Art Deco style bookends feature a bold, stylized falcon or eagle design, reminiscent of the “Maltese Falcon” aesthetic with strong geometric lines and a shimmering golden iridescence. Crafted from a cast material—likely a heavy plaster, ceramic, or composite with a metallic polychrome finish—they exhibit the sleek, monumental flair typical of the 1920s-1940s era. While the manufacturer is not explicitly marked, the craftsmanship points to American decorative arts of the mid-20th century. Condition is fair to good; there is a visible hairline crack near the base of the left bird and a significant chip on the wing of the right bird, along with general surface wear and minor scuffs to the finish throughout. Dimensions 21″x 8″ x 15″ Please use photos to judge condition and bid accordingly. Please note: Buyer is responsible for removal. From the Hollywood Blvd. Cinemas Collection.
