Aluminium & Marble Bookends

Aluminium & Marble Bookends | Online8 New Zealand

These aluminium and marble bookends pair sculptural gold-tone figures with solid marble bases, giving a bookshelf something worth looking at as well as something that holds books upright. Decorative and functional in equal measure, they suit bookshelves, consoles and display cabinets where a plain metal bracket would disappear.

Why It Stands Apart

• Sculptural gold-tone figures: The aluminium figures read as small sculptures rather than hardware, so the shelf looks styled instead of merely tidy.
• Solid marble bases: Real marble gives the weight needed to hold a row of books steady, and no two pieces of stone are veined quite the same.
• Two materials, one object: Warm gold against cool stone is a deliberate contrast that lifts a shelf far more than a single-material piece.
• Works beyond the bookshelf: At 216mm tall they hold their own as standalone objects on a console, sideboard or display cabinet.
• Decorative and practical: A shelf accessory that actually does a job, rather than one more ornament competing for space.

Frequently Asked Questions

How big are they?
Each bookend measures 127 × 51 × 216mm — 216mm tall, so they suit standard novels and larger hardbacks alike.

What are they made from?
Aluminium and marble — 60% aluminium for the sculptural figure, 40% marble for the base.

Is the marble real stone?
Yes. The bases are solid marble, so expect natural variation in veining and tone between pieces.

Will they actually hold books up?
Yes — the solid marble base supplies the weight, which is what keeps a row of books from sliding.
