Black Terrazzo Curve Bookends
Black Terrazzo Curve Bookends
Display your favorite books with these modern curved terrazzo bookends. This listing is for this one-of-a-kind set of 2 bookends, functional art.
The color is a deep black base with multicolor terrazzo chips. These terrazzo chips are upcycled from the small bits left over from previous pours (aka Mayhewn Studio's "no-waste" terrazzo) and make for a striking color combination.
Made from Jesmonite, an eco-friendly water-based acrylic resin. This terrazzo-style bookend takes about an additional 40 minutes of sanding per piece to reveal the chips and create a smooth, polished finish.
Width: 2.75 inches
Height: 5.5 inches
Depth: 4 inches
Each bookend weighs ~46oz. (Close to 3 lbs each, great for holding up heavy books!)
A few notes:
+ Air bubbles form as the acrylic resin cures and these slight variations make each piece unique.
+ Each bookend will be sealed for protection with wax (as shown).
+ I've added cork to the bottom to help it stay put, and to prevent scratches on any delicate surfaces.
