Know before you buy
Yes, the Carmen Shoe Bookend is sold as a pair, providing two individual pieces to support your books.
These bookends are crafted from aluminum, which is cast in a San Francisco foundry using traditional artisanal techniques.
While these are designed as decorative sculptural pieces, the aluminum construction provides enough weight to support standard-sized books on a shelf or desk.
No, these are freestanding bookends. They are designed to sit directly on a flat surface without the need for mounting hardware.
You can keep the metal looking its best by wiping it down with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the hand-crafted finish.
