Sitting Ladies: Grey metal, Height 7 inches, Inscription: Janle and Made in France. circa 1925. Janle is suspected to be a pseudonym for Max Le Verrier.
These Art deco bookends are large, well-cast and beautiful, and would be desirable with no further provenance. But, in addition, they are signed by the french artist Janle and were cast by the prominent french foundry of Le Verrier, all of which makes them high-end productions.
Impressed “Janle” inscription and “Made In France”.
