Art Deco “Trojan Horse” Bookend — Dodge Inc., c. 1930s, Bronze-Plated Spelter, 7" H

$95.00

Bring the strength and elegance of the Machine Age into your collection with this striking Art Deco Trojan Horse bookend, crafted by Dodge Inc. in the 1930s. Cast in spelter with a bronze/copper plated finish, the sculpture embodies the streamlined sophistication of the Deco era: a stylized arched neck, fluted mane, and triple-stepped base.

Originally sold in pairs, this single survivor still carries its bold presence, standing 7 inches tall and 4 inches wide, with excellent weight and stability. The surface retains its warm, aged patina, accented with subtle bronze highlights from decades of natural wear.

This piece speaks to both collectors of Deco design and lovers of equestrian art, offering a rare chance to own an authentic artifact from America’s golden age of decorative casting.

To preserve its original finish, dust lightly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh polishes or cleaners, as they can strip the bronze plating.
