Description The Genoa bookends are a pair of white marble pieces, each cut and polished to a layered cloud-inspired profile. The marble shows natural grey veining across a polished white surface, and the undulating shape gives each bookend a sculptural presence whether holding books upright or displayed as standalone decorative objects. Designed for shelving in living rooms, studies and bedrooms, the bookends work with standard shelf depths of 200-300mm and hold hardback and paperback volumes without tipping. The combined weight of 2.93kg across the pair provides enough mass to support a typical run of 15-20 medium-sized books. The smooth polished finish sits flush against book spines without snagging fabric-bound covers. Each bookend measures 210mm wide, 60mm deep and 115mm high, with the cloud profile creating a taller visual presence than a rectangular block of the same dimensions. The white marble base tone varies slightly between pieces depending on the quarry section, and the grey veining runs in different directions across each bookend, so no two pairs look identical. The polished surface reflects ambient light without glare. Specification Dimensions (WxDxHcm) 21 x 6 x 11.5 Colour White Material Marble Texture/Finish Smooth Weight 2.93KG Frequently Asked Are these sold as a pair or individually? This listing is for a pair of bookends. The 2.93kg weight listed in the specification is the combined weight of both pieces. How much weight can they support? The combined 2.93kg mass supports a typical run of 15-20 medium-sized hardback or paperback books on a standard shelf. For heavier or larger-format books, positioning the bookends closer together reduces the load on each piece. Does the marble veining vary between pieces? Yes. Each bookend is cut from natural marble, so the grey veining pattern, density and direction differ between individual pieces. This is a characteristic of the natural stone, not a defect. How is marble cleaned and maintained? Wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth for regular dusting. For marks or fingerprints, use a barely-damp cloth with distilled water and dry immediately. Avoid acidic cleaners, household sprays and abrasive materials, as marble is porous and can etch or stain.
