The Sleeping Scholars, Pair · Stone-finish bookends

Two small figures, each fast asleep with their heads resting on a stack of well-worn books. One lies stretched out, the other slumps forward mid-study, and together they hold a row of books between them with a gentle sense of humour.

The pieces have a textured, pale grey stone finish that looks weathered and handled rather than new, with soft, rounded forms and simple carved detail. They suit a study shelf, a reading nook or a child's room, and are just as good on their own as small sculptures on a console or windowsill. Sold as a pair.

Size
Each 22 cm L × 9.5 cm W × 17.5 cm H

Care
Dust with a soft, dry brush. Wipe with a lightly damp cloth if needed.

Every GHAR piece is collected from our store at 30 Impala Road, Chislehurston, Sandton. Most orders are ready within 4 hours, and we will confirm by email the moment yours is.

We are open Monday to Friday. Bring your order confirmation, and if a piece is large, bring a vehicle that fits it. Our team will help you load.

Payment is by Visa, Mastercard, Ozow instant EFT, Apple Pay or Google Pay through our secure checkout. We do not deliver at this stage.

If you need transport for a larger piece, ask us in store and we will point you to couriers our customers have used.

If a piece is not right, return it to the store within 7 days of collection, unused and in its original condition, with proof of purchase. We will refund you to your original payment method.

Most GHAR pieces are one of one and sourced as brand overstock, end of range, ex-display or estate finds. Their condition is described honestly on each product page, and marked wear on ex-display or estate pieces is part of the piece, not a defect. Nothing in this policy limits your rights under the Consumer Protection Act.
