Soapstone bookends, 'Wisdom' (pair)

Amanda

Dec 15, 2017

Beautiful!

Product picture

These are lovely. The soapstone has natural color gradations, with some lovely touches of pale pink and light grey intermingling with the medium grey that predominates. They are substantial pieces, and the talent and artistry of the sculptor is obvious. The owls are identical in size, but there are individual variations that make it easy to see each is one of a kind. I was also delighted to see that the upright portion on each bookend is actually carved to resemble a book! Delightful!

Beautiful, beautiful book ends

My wife bought these for my birthday and I just love the artistry. The soapstone material is unique, the carving beautiful, and the weight is perfect for holding books. This is the kind of possession you pass on to your children.

Some are made of cedar, others of ebony, and still others of bronze and marble. With NOVICA’s collection of handcrafted bookends, all your favorite titles can be on beautiful display. Our bookends come from such varied locations as West Africa, Brazil, Peru, and Bali and Java. And as diverse as the places from which they originate, our bookends come in so many different styles. Kwaku Ofosuhene Apenteng carves gorgeous antelopes grazing on the savannah and Luitpol Ruiz Gaviria erects aluminum harlequins balancing on their heads.
