A white metal aviation-themed bookend set of Streamline Moderne design? The pieces comprise two complementary sculptural forms, one depicting a stylised, aerodynamic aeroplane mounted on a sweeping curved support, and the other featuring a three-blade propeller on a straight horizontal shaft. Each component is cast in white metal with a bright, polished finish and is integrated into an L-shaped base consisting of a square backplate and flat horizontal shelf. The design emphasises aerodynamic curves and smooth, reflective surfaces characteristic of mid-20th-century industrial aesthetics. The metalwork exhibits minor surface pitting inherent to the casting process, along with light surface scratching and areas of oxidation concentrated around the joints.
