What customers say
The sentiment is strongly positive, driven by the exceptional design and robust quality. Consumers adore the detailed, accurate sculpting of the Cavalier King Charles breed.

Know before you buy
Yes, each bookend is cast in solid foundry iron and weighs a combined 3 pounds. This provides enough stability to support standard-sized hardcovers and novels on a shelf or desk.
The bookends feature a hand-painted, distressed white finish. This technique is designed to mimic the look of an aged antique, so you can expect some intentional variation in the color and texture.
While the base is made of solid iron, it is recommended to place a small felt pad or adhesive coaster on the bottom if you are concerned about potential scuffing on delicate surfaces.
Each piece measures 4 inches wide, 3 inches deep, and 5.5 inches tall. Their compact footprint makes them well-suited for smaller shelves, credenzas, or office desks.
Because they are made of heavy, solid iron, they are quite durable. However, due to their weight and rigid material, they should be placed securely on a stable surface out of reach of very young children.
