Pair of bookends Holmes and Moriarty

2 famous characters from detective literature to stall your novels on the shelves

With Sherlock Holmes, Conan Doyle created the most famous of detectives. Assisted by Doctor Watson, he even became a star in the fight against crime. We find them in the cinema, in series or in comics fighting against their most faithful enemy: Professor Moriarty.

When designing decorative bookends, it makes sense to draw inspiration from them, especially for propping up detective novels.

Shohan-design already offered a Sherlock Holmes in Shadow bookends and in silhouette. His designer had chosen to equip him with a cane rather than a magnifying glass. For this model, the cane remains. It is used by our detective to find any clues on the floor.

To make the pair, it is not Doctor Watson who accompanies him, but Professor Moriarty. A disturbing Moriarty who bears some resemblance to a certain Jack the Ripper.

With these two bookends in your library, it's a new adventure for our detective that is taking shape. They are original decorative accessories to put on a shelf. In addition to being pretty, these painted steel objects are designed strong and practical.

It’s also a great gift idea for a Sherlock Holmes fan or thriller lover.
