Know before you buy
Yes, each bookend features a solid, polished white marble base that provides the necessary weight and stability to support substantial hardcover books.
The marble bases are designed with a non-slip feature, which helps protect your surfaces from scratches while keeping the bookends securely in place.
The gold leaf finish is applied by hand to achieve a luxurious, artisanal look. While it is durable for standard decorative use, it should be cleaned gently with a soft, dry cloth to maintain its luster.
While they are sold as a pair to provide visual continuity, you can certainly use them individually as sculptural accents on a desk or console table if you prefer.
The combined dimensions for the pair are 6.5 inches in height, 14.5 inches in width, and 5.0 inches in depth.
