CRAFTSMAN ROAD Cast Iron Brick Arch Bookends, Antique Brass, Set of 2
Books standing upright need bookends, and these are the rare pair that carry the aesthetic themselves: cast-iron arches in an antique brass finish that look lifted from a university cloister. The arch shape does something clever — your books appear to stand inside a piece of old architecture — and cast iron means real weight, so they actually hold a full run of hardcovers without sliding, which is where cheap decorative bookends fail. On a dorm shelf they anchor the textbooks; after graduation they will still be anchoring books on better shelves, because cast iron does not wear out.
Let's buy this →Good to know: They are heavy — wonderful for holding books, less wonderful in a moving box. Budget for the weight if you are shipping to campus.
