Know before you buy
Because these are crafted from natural leopard marble, the veining pattern is unique to every piece. You should expect slight variations in color and stone texture, which makes each set one-of-a-kind.
Yes, marble is a dense, heavy material that provides excellent stability. These bookends are designed to provide the necessary weight to keep standard and large hardcovers securely in place.
While the marble is polished, we recommend checking the base upon arrival. If you are placing them on delicate surfaces like glass or polished wood, adding small adhesive felt pads is a simple way to prevent potential scratching.
To keep the marble looking its best, wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or acidic substances like lemon or vinegar, as these can etch or dull the natural stone surface.
Absolutely. The scalloped edges and natural stone finish make them substantial enough to serve as standalone sculptural accents on a mantel, console table, or desk.
