Know before you buy
Yes. Because they are crafted from solid cast iron, these bookends provide significant weight and stability, making them well-suited for supporting larger hardcovers or a substantial collection of books.
While the cast iron is durable, we recommend checking the base upon arrival. If you are placing them on delicate surfaces like polished wood or glass, adding small felt or silicone adhesive pads is a simple way to prevent potential scratching.
Absolutely. Their sculptural design and natural sparrow theme make them excellent decorative accents for mantels, side tables, or office desks even when not actively holding books.
To keep them looking their best, simply wipe the bookends with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, which could damage the protective finish.
The set includes two matching pieces, each featuring the same sparrow and branch motif. This symmetry creates a balanced, cohesive look when placed on either end of a bookshelf.
