The Weight of Knowledge Series - Character: Chuan Art Studio_Cat-Shaped Bookend

** "Character" ** "It is a man's character, not his birth, that ennobles him. Character determines life." -- A tribute to the British writer D.H. Lawrence ** "The Weight of Knowledge Series" CHU,an Design ** Marble, rising from the earth, transforms into the form of books, carrying the weight of knowledge and revealing its solid strength. But who says reading has to be a serious affair? Charming animals play among the books, a game of cat and mouse, as if capturing fleeting moments from the pages. Begin here, feel the weight of knowledge, and experience the joy of reading. These 360-degree three-dimensional stone carved bookends offer a different shape and aesthetic from every angle, presenting 360 ways to display them with joy and flair. Each piece is sculpted by the designer and then meticulously crafted by artisans using marble powder of varying grain sizes, hand-aggregated, molded, and finely carved. Because the works are composed of stone powder with different grain sizes, their texture shimmers with a brilliant luster under light refraction, showcasing the unique fine texture of the stone. The stone-plastic material is hard, durable, and preserves its quality, making it easy to clean and maintain daily. The creator's vision finds its vessel in the stone; the warm touch and smooth texture of the marble convey the warmth of the artisan's hands, and also communicate the essence of "reading"—reading together to explore the vast world and appreciating the beauty in life. **Optional gold leaf service available, requires 3 business days.** If you require gold leaf service, please contact us before placing your order! | Product Information | • Material: Composite Stone • Specifications: Product 18x14x(H)15cm • Weight: Net weight 2.2kg ★ Each piece is signed by the designer. ★ Exquisite Gift Box Packaging A sturdy, two-piece rigid gift box with an included poetry card.
