About the Item

Vienna bronze young writer on black marble, a moment of quiet creation. This early-20th-century Vienna bronze captures a beautifully intimate scene: a seated figure, legs folded beneath him, holding a small notebook on his lap while his hand moves steadily with a pencil or stylus. He isn’t simply posed, he is writing. There is intention in the tilt of his head, concentration in the slight forward bend of his body, and a calm focus that feels almost timeless. Cast in bronze with warm patinated tones, the figure rests on a striking black marble base veined with white and copper ribbons, giving the piece a dramatic and elegant presence. The shallow circular recess suggests the piece once served as a desk accessory or ashtray, though today it reads more like a small tableau, a moment of creativity preserved in stone and metal. Viewed from any angle, the sculpture feels like a story: a writer absorbed in his thoughts, capturing ideas before they slip away. The subtle modeling and coloration reflect the craftsmanship for which Vienna’s bronze ateliers were renowned. We have not yet found any maker's marks, but the quality of this bronze is like a signature or mark in its own right.

Rare Art Deco Bookends, Indian Sculptures in Meditating Position on Marble Base

Located in Lisse, NL

Unique on 1stdibs and possibly worldwide. It was in the early 20th century that meditation became known in Western society. Like many artists, the one who handcrafted the sculptures that were used to create these bookends probably traveled through Indonesia or India. These creative minds came back full of inspiration of all they had witnessed, because certainly back then, they entered a whole new world. The meditating males on these marble based bookends are made of silvered brass and the artist perfectly captured their serene faces, their turban head wear and their relaxed bodies. Sitting with their minds at rest and with their consciousness in the entire body or possibly focussed on breathing only, they would certainly arouse interest with western travelers...
