Elephant Bookends | Online8 New Zealand The Elephant Bookends are a pair of elephants sculpted in polyresin and finished in gold, weighted to hold a row of books upright rather than slide out from under them. The form is stylised rather than realistic — clean lines and a smooth surface — so each piece sits on a shelf as decoration in its own right when the books spread out and no longer need holding. Why It Stands Apart Weighted to Work: Solid polyresin gives the mass needed to hold a run of hardbacks. Gold Finish: A warm metallic tone that lifts a shelf of mixed spines. Stylised Form: Sculpted for clean lines rather than fine realism, so it reads well from across a room. Decorative Either Way: Works as a standalone sculpture when it isn't holding books. Specifications Colour Gold Material 100% Polyresin Size (L×W×H) 22 × 13 × 19 cm Set Pair of bookends Frequently Asked Questions Will they hold heavy books? Polyresin is dense enough for a normal run of hardbacks. For a long or unusually heavy row, place books so their weight leans into the bookend rather than pushing it outward. Where do they work best? Open shelving, desks and console tables — anywhere books stand upright without a side panel to lean against. What are they made from? 100% polyresin with a gold finish. Can I see it?
