Emrys Onyx Bookends
Form & Presence
A honed finish runs across every surface — across the flat back, along the stepped ridges that rise and spread outward in a fan from base to arc. Each piece is carved from a single block of onyx, ivory white with quiet sage-green and grey-beige veining that moves through the stone without interruption.
On a library shelf in a house with high ceilings, the pair sit facing each other across a row of spines. The ridges cast their own narrow shadow between them. Nothing on the shelf competes — the books lean in, and the stone holds its position steadily at either end.
Material & Composition
- Measurements 5″ L × 2″ W × 5″ H
- Weight 8 lb
- Material Solid onyx — dense, close-grained, ivory white ground
- Color Palette Ivory white ground with soft sage-green and grey-beige veining moving quietly across the surface
- Surface & Texture Matte and honed across all faces — ridges softly rounded, shadows settle between each one
- Set Includes Two fan-carved onyx bookends, each cut from a single block of stone, finished identically and presented as a mirrored pair
- Artisan Touches Veining pattern and depth vary across each piece; ridge definition and tonal character are unique to every pair
Care & Longevity
Onyx holds best when kept dry and handled with care — the surface is sensitive to acidic substances and abrasion, both of which can dull the honed finish or mark the stone over time.
- Wipe with a soft dry cloth to maintain the matte finish
- For spills, clean with a lightly damp cloth and mild soap — dry immediately
- Keep away from citrus, vinegar, and acidic substances that rest against the stone
- Do not use abrasive cloths or harsh chemical cleaners on any face
- Lift rather than drag when repositioning — the base is stone and will scratch surfaces beneath
