factory founded by Jean Born in 1908,
then managed by Lucien Willemetz.
Beautiful and interesting pair of ceramic bookends (20 cm) with an anthropomorphic theme, representing, symmetrically, two Oriental characters — “wise men”? — in green-turquoise and cracked golden enamels. Art Deco period, circa 1925-30.
ROBJ Manufacture, Paris.
Each bookend is signed under the base, with the brand "Robj Paris" stamped intaglio, accompanied by a small cartridge indicating the following: "Made in France". Very beautiful and extremely rare objects, forming a pair, and perfectly preserved (all additional details below).
* * * DIMENSIONS:
- height of a bookend, 20.00 CM;
- total length of a bookend, 12.50 CM ;
- width, 07.60 CM. .
* * * CONDITION REPORT: Excellent condition for both bookends, really. The colors and gold are perfectly vivid; the whole thing is superb. Very slight original enameling defects, including, for example, a very slight lack of enamel on one of the bookends (photo n°6). Finally, I note a tiny break in enamel on the other bookend, on the reverse of the base (very barely visible; you can see it by turning the bookend over (photo n°7), as well as on the back , a little, of the bookend (photo n°8, 9). In any case, the impact of this small defect is really minimal, almost zero. The two bookends therefore remain well, and in the whole, in an excellent state of conservation, really.
