Know before you buy
Yes, each set weighs 5.5 lbs in total. The solid brass construction provides sufficient weight and stability to keep standard hardcovers and novels securely in place.
No, these are freestanding decorative pieces. You can simply place them on your shelf or desk without the need for tools or mounting hardware.
The set measures 9 inches wide, 5.5 inches deep, and 7.5 inches high. Ensure your shelf has at least 5.5 inches of depth to accommodate the base comfortably.
As these are crafted from durable brass, they will naturally develop a patina over time if left untreated. You can maintain the original luster with a standard brass polish if you prefer a bright, shiny look.
These are sold exclusively as a complete pair. The design is intended to be used together to anchor your books from both sides.
