Know before you buy
Yes, because they are crafted from solid cast iron, they provide significant weight and stability. They are specifically designed to keep heavy books upright and organized on your shelf.
Because each bookend is hand-painted, the distressed finish will vary slightly from piece to piece. This ensures that your set has a unique, artisanal character rather than a mass-produced look.
While the base is made of solid 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.
Each bookend stands 5.75 inches tall, with a base measuring 4.75 by 2.75 inches. They are sized to be prominent enough to serve as decor while remaining compact enough for standard shelving.
No, these are freestanding sculptural bookends. They are ready to use right out of the box and do not require any mounting hardware.
