Each bookend takes a simple L shape: a flat base slides under the last book in a row while the upright back holds the row steady. The aircraft sits on a curved stand fixed to the base, lifted clear of it as though climbing away, and the planes face outwards in opposite directions when the bookends sit at each end of a row. They measure 18.5cm high, 15cm wide and 16cm deep, a compact size that keeps a run of novels or hardbacks upright without crowding the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheir home is wherever books gather: a study bookcase, a desk in a home office, a reading corner in the living room or a shelf on the landing. The black base and back sit quietly with dark wood, painted shelving and plain white units alike, leaving the silver aircraft to draw the eye. They also earn their place without books between them, standing on a sideboard or mantelpiece as a small piece of aviation decor. Set on a desk, they keep reference books, notebooks and folders within reach and in order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe aircraft is metal with a shiny finish that picks out the lines across the wings and body, while the black base and upright give it a crisp outline. To keep the shine, dust the plane and stand with a soft dry cloth and wipe the black surfaces with a lightly damp cloth, drying them afterwards; we would avoid abrasive cleaners on either part. For the neatest look, set the bookends with the propellers pointing outwards and stand your tallest, heaviest volumes against the uprights so the row stays firm. Wrapped up, they make a handsome present that will be used every day rather than tucked away.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMetal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShiny\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.5kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big are these Spitfire bookends?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey measure 18.5cm high, 15cm wide and 16cm deep, a compact size that sits comfortably on a standard bookshelf or desk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the Spitfire bookends made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey are made of metal, and the Spitfire aircraft has a shiny silver finish that shows up clearly against the black base and upright.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat colour are the bookends?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base and upright are black, and the aircraft on each bookend is a shiny polished silver, so the plane stands out clearly on the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do the bookends hold books in place?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach bookend has a flat base that slides under the end books and an upright back that keeps the row standing straight on the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should I clean the bookends?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDust them with a soft dry cloth to keep the aircraft shining, and wipe the black surfaces with a lightly damp cloth, avoiding abrasive cleaners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWould these bookends make a good gift?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, they make a practical present for a bookcase or a home office desk, useful every day and simple to wrap.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harvey Makin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53460845494539,"sku":"HM2557","price":47.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/hm2557_01.jpg?v=1792268539","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/spitfire-bookends-with-shiny-silver-metal-aircraft-black","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
