Homer Bust Bookend – Single Plaster Sculpture
The Poet, Standing Watch
Homer — the poet behind the Iliad and the Odyssey — cast in solid plaster and holding steady at the end of your bookshelf. This single bust bookend is both a functional support and a small piece of cultural history for your home.
The design is clean and understated. No excessive detail, just the recognizable profile rendered in matte plaster with a quiet, scholarly presence.
Why It Works
- Cast from solid natural plaster — heavy enough to support a row of books
- Eco-friendly paint coating for a smooth, durable finish
- Velvet-padded base to protect your shelves
- Works solo or paired with our Aristotle bust bookend

Yes. Every Atelier Article piece is hand-welded by a small team of craftspeople in Cherkasy, Ukraine. Production takes 2–3 days per item before it ships.
How long does shipping take?
Orders ship within 2–3 business days. US delivery takes 10–12 days. International orders arrive in 12–26 days.
What is the return policy?
Returns accepted within 14 days of delivery. Item must be unused and in original condition. Buyer covers return shipping.
What are they made from?
Solid steel, hand-welded and finished in our Cherkasy workshop. The steel's weight keeps books upright — no filler needed.
How heavy are the bookends?
Typically 0.8–1.5 kg per pair — heavy enough to hold a full shelf without sliding or tipping.
Do steel bookends scratch shelves?
No — each bookend has a felt pad on the base to protect wood, glass, and laminate surfaces.
