Know before you buy
Yes, each bookend is crafted from solid foundry cast iron and weighs 3 pounds, providing enough heft to support a substantial collection of books.
While the base is made of cast iron, we recommend placing a small felt pad or adhesive furniture protector on the bottom if you are concerned about potential scratching on delicate surfaces.
The hand-painted, distressed finish is designed to mimic an authentic antique look, giving the pieces a weathered, vintage aesthetic rather than a brand-new, glossy appearance.
Each individual bookend stands 6 inches tall, 4 inches wide, and 3 inches deep, making them well-suited for standard bookshelves and credenzas.
