Know before you buy
Yes, they feature a weighty construction specifically designed to provide the stability needed to support heavy hardcovers and large volumes without sliding.
The metals feature an aged finish, so they are intended to maintain their patina over time. You can simply dust them with a soft, dry cloth; avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that might strip the aged aesthetic.
While the bookends are made of solid metal, we recommend placing them on a shelf with a smooth surface. If you are concerned about delicate wood finishes, you can easily apply small felt pads to the bottom of each piece for extra protection.
Absolutely. Given their sculptural, post-modern design, they function beautifully as standalone art objects on a console table, desk, or mantel.
The set is sold as a functional pair. While they share the same material composition and design language, the mixed metal aesthetic ensures each piece has a unique, curated look.
