Art Deco Bronze Paperweights, Pair of Beetles on Marble Bases
Pair of Art Deco paperweights representing two beetles in patinated bronze. One depicts a stag beetle, identifiable by its long mandibles, while the other is a scarab with a compact, ribbed body. The modeling is precise, and the golden patina highlights the details of the sculptures. Both pieces rest on veined black marble bases, each measuring 14.5 × 8.5 cm.
Signs of use consistent with age; one of the bases has undergone discreet restoration.
