Hand Carved Argentine Art Deco Penguin Bookends

Hand Carved Argentine Art Deco Penguin Bookends

A charming pair of hand carved wooden Art Deco bookends, each featuring a family of three penguins standing together against a mountainous background of ice. The penguins are rendered in dark wood bas relief, creating a striking contrast with the warm, lighter wood surrounding them.

There is something both classical and whimsical about penguins, and these beautifully carved birds have wonderful character. Their simplified forms, layered geometric background, and strong contrast reflect the decorative style of the Art Deco period.
