SOLD Solid Bronze Hand with Ring and Cuff, Lovely Large Victorian Paperweight shell art which produced pottery in BostonThis hand is a totally different thing than the Victorian hand shaped brass clips one often sees: much larger, very substantial, solid bronze I believe, and with a smooth, flat back, such that it rests flush on the the surface a tabletop in a very believable (and quite lovely) way as if a real hand just resting there. And I must say it feels very calming and comforting as it does! Late 19th century I believe, solid, heavy, really a nice object. 6 5
