XANVOR is a brass bookends manufacturer in Moradabad, India, working from its own foundry and sheet-metal workshop. We make cast pairs, animal and figurative forms, abstract and architectural blocks, and the wider family of desk objects around them — for importers, gift distributors, design brands and private-label programmes.
Own moulds and patterns · MOQ 10 pcs per design · samples in 7–14 days.
A bookend is a casting problem first: heavy enough to hold a shelf, stable on its base, safe where a hand reaches.
Elephants, whales, birds, seahorses and other figurative forms sand cast in brass or aluminium so the pair carries real weight and holds modelled detail. A sheet-formed animal never gets the mass a working bookend needs.
Wave, leaf, arch and block silhouettes in cast metal or laser-cut iron, powder-coated or antique-finished. Laser-cut work gives a graphic profile at lower weight and cost per pair, which suits a retail price point.
Bookends rarely ship alone. The same moulds and finishing bench produce desk organisers, card and spectacle holders, doorstops and standalone sculpture. Our WILDFORM range shows how far the cast-brass work goes.
Marble and stone bases, agate slices, sheesham plinths and resin inlay are combined with metal in-house, which keeps fitting tolerances under one roof.
Sand casting in brass, aluminium and kansa (bronze) does most of the work here. Sheet processes — raising, spinning, planishing and hand-hammering in brass and copper — cover the lighter architectural pieces, with hand engraving (nakkashi) or acid etching for surface detail, and laser-cut ironwork for graphic profiles.
Finishes are antique gold, mirror polish, matte gold, oxidised, silver plate and powder coat, matched to your reference swatch before production so a repeat order looks like the first. Custom sizes and fitments — rescaling a shape, changing a weight, adding felt or mounting hardware — are normal work.
Tooling, mould and pattern charges for new designs are quoted separately. The same route, in more detail, is on our OEM and ODM page.
Quotations are in USD as standard, with EUR, GBP, AED or INR on request; the PI currency is the currency of settlement, and every quotation carries a reference number. Third-party testing, certification and factory audits are arranged on request and charged separately.
Design codes or your reference images; target height, width and weight; quantity, in pairs or singles; the finish, with a swatch if you have one; destination port or city and your Incoterm; quote currency; branding and packaging; and your delivery window. Send it through the RFQ form, to hello@xanvor.com, or on WhatsApp — we reply within one working day.
Buyers needing a manufacturer rather than a trading house, foundry and finishing bench in one place.
Private-label desk ranges where the shape is yours and tooling and finish control must be documented.
Figurative pieces in retail-ready boxes, with swing tags and logo marking in-house.
Shelf and library objects specified alongside metal wall art on the same project.
Yes. Send a drawing, photograph, moodboard or physical sample with target sizes and quantities and we return feasibility notes and a quotation. On approval, size, finish, weight and packaging are frozen as the production standard.
10 pieces per design, for catalogue and custom or modified designs alike. Bookends are usually bought as pairs, so tell us whether your quantity is in pairs or singles and we will quote it the way you count it. Mixed-design orders are welcome.
Both, and they behave differently. Sand casting in brass, aluminium or kansa gives a solid, heavy piece holding fine sculptural detail, which is what figurative forms need. Sheet work gives a lighter, more architectural object. We advise which route suits your shape when we quote.
Tooling, mould and pattern charges apply to new custom designs and are quoted separately from the unit price, so development cost and per-piece cost stay visible. Catalogue designs already in production carry no such charge; for design-stage pieces, any pattern or tooling cost is stated on the quotation.
In foam inserts and master cartons, packed for sea and air freight — heavy cast pairs need the foam more than most categories. You receive photo and video approval before packing, and on export we issue the invoice, packing list and shipping papers.
