What are Homer Bust Bookend – Single Plaster Sculpture made from?

Solid steel, hand-welded and finished by hand in our Cherkasy workshop. The weight of the steel itself is what keeps books upright — no heavy base fill is needed.

How heavy are the bookends?

Weight varies by design, typically 0.8–1.5 kg per pair. That weight gives them the stability to hold a full shelf of books without sliding or tipping.

Do steel bookends scratch shelves?

Each bookend has a felt pad on the base to protect wood, glass, and laminate surfaces from scratches.
