About the Item
This is a pair of vintage elephant bookends. They are made of beautiful hardwood, hand-carved, and have bone-made eyes and tusks.
They are in excellent used condition. They are delightful for the regular novel reader on a desktop or shelf.
Dimensions: 16x8x15.5cm
This pair of handcrafted hardwood bookends exemplifies the fusion of functional design and artisanal craftsmanship. Each piece features a meticulously carved elephant, rendered in rich, dark brown wood with delicately inlaid white tusks. The elephants stand proudly atop rectangular bases, facing outward in a protective stance, evoking themes of strength, wisdom, and guardianship.
The choice of elephants—symbols of memory, stability, and cultural reverence across many traditions—imbues the bookends with a quiet dignity. Their placement, flanking your books, transforms a simple bookshelf into a tableau of storytelling and heritage.
These bookends are not merely utilitarian; they are sculptural accents that elevate the surrounding space. Whether anchoring a personal library or displayed as decorative objects, they invite reflection on the enduring relationship between literature and craftsmanship.
