I am Tetu Bookends. I've learned over the years that every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.
Curator's Notes
I look for bookends with a simple profile but it can be hard to find ones heavy enough to actually do the job right. These bookends have a lovely minimalist form and are made of solid cast iron to be at once beautiful and substantial. The pair’s differing sizes add a note of whimsy to their character.
