Pair of Brumal Bookends Material: In glossy black wood Silvered metal Signature: Brumal Italy 1990s Dimensions: 17 x 15 x 9 cm Weight: 750 g total 1.5 kg Elegant black glossy wooden bookends with elephants whose trunks are raised, crafted in silvered metal, signed Brumal. Ideal decorative accessory for classical and modern libraries. Detailed Description The Brumal signature places this pair of bookends in the panorama of Italian and continental decorative art production from the second half of the 20th century (roughly between the 1970s and 1990s). Brumal is a well-known brand for the creation of sculptures, luxury home furnishings, and artistic pieces inspired by classical and neoclassical styles, often distributed in silversmith shops or high-end boutiques. Here are the technical and aesthetic details of the object: • Subject: Two mirror-image elephants in a dynamic walking pose. Both have their trunks raised upward, a stance that in iconographic tradition symbolizes positive energy, good fortune, and prosperity. • Materials and Craftsmanship: The elephant sculptures are made of heavy metal — typically cast brass or bronze — worked with a pronounced surface chasing that realistically reproduces the folds and texture of the animal’s skin. The galvanic finish presents a shiny silvery patina with darkened recesses that give the piece three-dimensional depth. • Base: The “L” shaped bases are fashioned in black lacquered wood with a glossy mirror-like finish. The combination of the warm silver tone of the metal and the deep black of the base recalls the luxury interior design canons of Hollywood Regency and Mid-Century. Objects signed by decorative manufacturers like Brumal retain a visible quality even after many years. • Condition (Very Good): The black lacquer on the bases is well preserved, with no noticeable chips or deep scratches. The brass patina appears uniform. Some slight signs of time are present. • Presence of the Signature: The Brumal mark certifies provenance and the quality of the casting, distinguishing the object from modern commercial reproductions or anonymous imports.
