A Rare pair of Franjou Marble Pelican Bookends with celluloid eyes. One of the 4 eyes is missing (see Photo). What I have learned is that this pair could be made from Moreau. I do not have any information on Franjou but through some research that t was a connection between Franjou and Moreau. I believe that Franjou was probably a pseudonym used by Moreau. T have been statues and figural items which are the same statue and have been signed in either name. It was not unusual for sculptors to use Pseudonyms. Most of the items tend to be comical animal subjects often with celluloid cross-eyes. They measure roughly 6" high x 5" wide (including marble bottom). It looks as though these were once a green color. Felt bottoms are gone. Small chips/ nicks on one corner of bookend with missing eye. Please email me with any questions. All sales are final unless items are grossly misrepresented.
