These are Art Deco "Scarf Dancer" (or Veil Dancer) bookends. Originating in the 1920s to 1930s era, this specific style captures the "New Woman" of the Roaring Twenties through a stylized, energetic female silhouette dramatically arced while holding a flowing veil or scarf.

They were typically manufactured in the United States or France using heavy cast iron, bronze, or spelter metal. While most vintage pairs sport a classic solid bronze, copper, or green patina finish, this particular set features a distinctive two-tone polychrome silver and metallic blue paint finish.
