Know before you buy
Yes, each bookend weighs 2 pounds and is crafted from solid foundry cast iron. Their substantial weight makes them well-suited for supporting standard-sized hardcover books.
The finish is hand-painted and intentionally distressed to mimic the appearance of a vintage antique. While it is a modern reproduction, the process gives each piece a unique, aged character rather than a uniform, mass-produced look.
Each bookend measures 5 inches high, 3 inches wide, and 3 inches deep. They are compact enough to fit on most standard bookshelves or credenzas without taking up excessive space.
While the product is made of heavy cast iron, it is recommended to place a small felt pad or shelf liner underneath if you are concerned about scratching delicate wood surfaces, as the base is metal.
Yes, the fuzzy cotton tails are integrated into the design. They add a soft, tactile contrast to the heavy iron construction.
