The Sentinel Knight

Regular price $29.99
Sale price $29.99 Regular price
SAVE % Sold out

He doesn't read. He keeps watch.

Gauntlets resting on the pommel of his planted sword, the Sentinel stands guard in front of your books so the rest of the shelf can read in peace. Antique pewter tones settle into every plate and rivet.

  • Size: about 5–6 in tall, roughly two-thirds the height of a hardback
  • Finish: hand-finished antique pewter look
  • Weight: lightweight, so he won't bow your shelf
  • No base: stands in front of or against your books
  • Also looks at home on a desk or nightstand

Size & finish

The Reading Knight and The Sentinel Knight stand about 5–6 in tall, roughly two-thirds the height of a standard hardback. The Scholar Knight sits about 3 in tall.

Each knight is made from lightweight, durable plastic and hand-finished in a cast-look silver, pewter or gunmetal tone. Light enough to sit on any shelf without bowing it.

The bookshelf lantern (in The Full Keep or as an add-on) slides between your books, with a scrolled bracket and a small hanging lantern.
