Pair of vintage Italian Mancer ceramic bookends, hands.

Very elegant pair of vintage Italian bookends signed Mancer, of a very nice size (larger than those commonly found) in glossy white glazed ceramic, representing two stylised hands with a sculptural and minimalist design. Their organic and modernist aesthetic evokes Italian design from the 70s and 80s, with soft lines and a strong decorative presence. Both functional objects and true decorative sculptures, they will fit perfectly in a library, on a console, or a desk. The bookends are marked Mancer and numbered underneath. They are weighted with sand and therefore heavy (2.260kg), ensuring good stability. Ideal hiding place for slipping in your gold coins or precious stones! Perfect for minimalist, modernist, Italian, or art gallery decor. A few very discreet signs of wear. No chips or cracks. The dimensions provided are for one bookend.
