{"product_id":"antique-gold-tiger-granite-bookends-antique-gold","title":"Antique Gold Tiger Granite Bookends – Antique Gold","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese Tiger Bookends arrive as a set of two, each shaped as a seated tiger with finely worked stripes and a poised stance. The cast aluminium figures carry a hand-applied antique gold finish, while every tiger sits on a solid black granite base for weight and stability. Each bookend measures W13 x D10 x H16.5cm and the pair weighs 2.75kg together, giving them enough heft to hold a row of books in place. The mix of textured metal and smooth stone gives them a sculptural quality that works as decoration in its own right, even before you add books between them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe think this pair suits bookcases, open shelving, a console table or a desk where a little character is welcome. The antique gold and black pairing sits well with dark wood, brass fittings and neutral or moody colour schemes, and the animal form brings warmth to a study, living room or home office. Use them as a functional pair keeping paperbacks and hardbacks upright, or split them across two shelves as standalone ornaments. They also make a considered gift for a reader or anyone furnishing a first proper library corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach figure is cast in aluminium and given an antiqued gold finish by hand, so slight variation in tone and shading is part of the look. The granite bases are cut and polished to a smooth matt surface, and their natural stone means small differences in marking between the two pieces. To care for them, dust with a soft dry cloth and buff gently to keep the finish clean. Avoid harsh cleaners or abrasive pads, which can dull the metal, and wipe up any spills on the granite promptly. Lift rather than drag the bases to protect furniture surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDecorative Accessories\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAntique Gold\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13cm x 10cm x 16.5cm (W x D x H)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.75KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry of origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAntique Cast Aluminium, Smooth Granite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are these bookends made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach tiger is cast in aluminium with a hand-applied antique gold finish, and every figure is mounted on a solid black granite base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean and care for them?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDust with a soft dry cloth and buff gently.
