Know before you buy
At 2 lbs for the pair, these bookends are best suited for smaller to medium-sized book collections. They provide enough weight for standard hardcovers, but may slide if used to support very heavy or oversized volumes.
They are cast in high-quality designer resin. This material allows for the intricate detailing of the elephant's skin and tusks while maintaining a durable, solid feel.
These are sold as a functional pair, meaning you receive two separate elephant sculptures designed to anchor books on both ends of a shelf.
Each individual bookend measures 5.5 inches in width, 7.5 inches in height, and 5 inches in depth, making them a substantial size for most standard bookshelves or credenzas.
The bookends are hand-painted in natural brown hues. The finish is designed to mimic the look of weathered skin, providing a realistic and textured appearance that fits well with rustic or exotic decor themes.
