Bronze Cast Trojan Horse Bookends/Pipe Rests C.1930 Office Study Art Deco

Bronze Cast Trojan horse bookends approx 1930. Beautiful antique condition. Please feel free to ask me questions.

Bookends with integrated pipe rests were popular primarily during the early to mid-20th century, with significant popularity during the Art Deco era of the 1920s and 1930s. 
This timeframe coincided with a peak in pipe-smoking culture, where the pipe was seen as a symbol of scholarly, sophisticated, and leisurely refinement. Pipe rests were a functional accessory for the serious pipe smoker, and combining them with bookends offered a clever, all-in-one desktop or mantelpiece item.
