Know before you buy
Yes. Each bookend weighs 7.3 lbs, providing a total weight of 14.6 lbs. This substantial mass is more than sufficient to keep a large collection of heavy hardcover books securely in place.
Because these are handcrafted from natural Italian alabaster, each piece features unique veining and color patterns. You should expect slight variations in the stone, which makes every set one-of-a-kind.
Maintain the finish by dusting the bookends regularly with a soft, dry cloth. If you need a deeper clean, you can use a neutral wood furniture cleaner, but avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the gold leaf or the stone's surface.
These are sold as a complete pair, so you will receive two owl bookends in your order.
The glass eyes are securely set into the alabaster as part of the handcrafted design. While they are durable, they should be handled with care to avoid impact, just as you would with any decorative sculptural piece.
