Art Deco Marble Desk Set Featuring Bronze Busts of Adolf Hitler by Wilhelm Zoll and a Heroic Wehrmacht Soldier with Gold Political Eagle

This rare five-piece Art Deco desk set, crafted in the late 1930s to early 1940s, includes a signed bronze bust of Adolf Hitler by Wilhelm Zoll, a renowned German sculptor. Accompanying this is a heroic bronze bust of a bare-shouldered Wehrmacht soldier wearing a WWI-style helmet.  While the Adolf Hitler bust is signed by Zoll, the Wehrmacht soldier bust is unsigned. However, its craftsmanship, materials, and design suggest it was produced in the same period and intended to complement the set. Mounted on matching black and gold-veined marble bases, the busts are complemented by functional desk accessories, making this set a unique artifact of its era.
