Dog and Cat Bookends by Le Verrier
Rare French, green patinated Siamese Cat and Bulldog Bookends made by the Le Verrier foundry in the 1920s. Each are mounted on Belgian Black marble bases which measure 5 inches high and 3.5 inches wide across the front. The front of the bases are mounted with a logo which is initialled SCBA, perhaps they were given as a presentation or refer to the French animal protection group. The quality is excellent as I have grown to expect with all Le Verrier pieces, and they are signed to the base in the metal. Condition is good but the cat has been in a fight and has lot the end tip of one ear - which is barely noticeable.

Ram Bookends
A pair of French spelter rearing ram bookends with a dark green patina, unsigned but probably by Le Verrier. Each measures 5.5 inches wide and 5 inches high, and in excellent original condition.

Bronze Kingfisher Bookends
A pair of gold patinated bronze kingfishers, mounted on grey marble bases measuring 4 x 3.25 inches and totalling 5.5 inches high. The birds are unsigned, but of good quality and stamped bronze in the supporting branch. Good condition and with just some slight patina loss to the birds - not unusual after 70 years.

Chinaman Bookends
Lovely French ceramic chinaman and rickshaw bookends, with a tan a blue glaze - they each measure 6.5 wide x 4 deep x 7 inches high, (17x10x18cm). They have no makers marks but some indistinct numbers on the side. Condition is excellent and with some unglazed areas around the base - part of the design from manufacture.

Ram Bookends by Le Verrier
These black metal bookends were made by the Le Verrier foundry in the 1920s and measure 7 inches high, 5.5 inches long and 2.5 inches wide (18x14x6cm). Unfortunately the condition is not wonderful and there are some big chips to the marble bases and signs of damage to the rams horns which may have been repairs or restoration. Priced to clear.

Condition is good with some ageing to the patina and some chips to the marble corners. Also the point of one of the hats is slightly bent, but hardly worth a mention.
