Here you have a stunning pair of early to mid-20th century burl wood bookends that are more than just functional decor, they embody the organic beauty and resilience of mother nature. These bookends not only have the function of holding your books or vinyls, but they also showcase the tree's unique response to adversity, transforming imperfections into something of extraordinary beauty.
Burl wood is formed when trees undergo stress—whether from injury, disease, or environmental factors—creating intricate, forms externally and swirled grain patterns that are completely one-of-a-kind on the inside. It is a sample of nature's artistry, capturing the unique and mysterious growth patterns formed over decades, if not centuries, usually at the base of the trunk.
This pair of bookends carries both nature's history and the legacy of woodworkers who paid homage to the inherent beauty in these natural imperfections. Whether you are adding these pieces to your collection or giving them as a gift, you're not just purchasing a beautiful set of functional art; you're acquiring a piece of nature’s story.
Due to the organic nature of the each piece, they have slightly different measurements.
One measures: 3 3/8" w x 5.4"L x 7 1/2"h The other measures: 3 3/8"w x 5.38"L x 6.6"h less
