Pair of Michael Aram Ram’s Horn Bookends with Bone Inlay Bases

This pair of bookends is designed by Michael Aram, featuring sculptural representations of ram’s horns mounted on shaped bases. The dark, twisted horns exhibit a coiled form, capturing the natural curvature and texture characteristic of ram’s horns. The bases are constructed from inlaid bone panels arranged in a brick-like pattern, with small pinholes distributed throughout the surface. The underside of each base is lined with black felt for stability and protection, with one bearing a small metal medallion engraved with Aram’s signature.

The horns are crafted in a dark, polished metal with a patinated finish, replicating the organic ridges and spirals of natural horn. The bases are symmetrically cut into a semi-circular shape, allowing the bookends to sit flush against one another or be displayed separately. The bone inlay exhibits a subtle variation in tone, highlighting the natural quality of the material.

Michael Aram is known for his handcrafted designs that blend organic forms with refined materials. His work often draws inspiration from nature, translating organic textures into sculptural decorative objects. These bookends reflect his signature approach, combining functional design with intricate detailing and artisanal craftsmanship.
