These Italian bookends are made of alabaster, a stone valued for its subtle translucency and pattern. They have a massive, architectural form that combines functionality with sculptural aesthetics, characteristic of 20th-century Italian design.
Each bookend consists of a rectangular base and a vertical plate that stabilizes the book. The front is complemented by a geometric block of light, milky-beige alabaster with delicately beveled edges. This contrast between the light, smooth element and the darker, richly veined stone gives the whole a refined, decorative rhythm.
Natural streaks in shades of gray, olive, and warm brown make each piece unique. The polished surface subtly reflects light, emphasizing the depth of the stone and its noble character.
The bookends look like miniature forms of modernist architecture — austere, balanced, and elegant. They are perfect for classic, modernist, and mid-century interiors, serving as both a practical library accessory and a decorative object made of natural stone.
