What are the Sloane bookends made of?

Solid travertine, a porous limestone with natural pits and veining. Expect small surface holes and color variation between the two pieces.

How big are they and what do they hold?

Each bookend is 7 inches long, wide and tall. That is tall enough for most hardcovers, but the pair takes up real shelf depth and height.

The listing does not mention a felt or rubber base, so bare stone sits directly on the shelf. Add felt pads if you want to protect wood finishes.

Travertine is porous and absorbs moisture and stains. Keep them dry and indoors, and wipe spills quickly.

Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid acidic cleaners, which etch stone, and seal the surface if you want extra stain protection.

No. Natural travertine varies in veining, tone and pitting, so the pair will not match exactly.
