T (for Token of Love!) Hand-carved Art Nouveau-esque Paper Weight with Stylized Hearts drawing of man in glasses 7 3/4" tall x 10So lovely, and surely someone has a T in their life this was meant for. I take the carving as representing an abstracted (voluptuous Art Nouveau esque) heart, so would call this a love token, and with a nice weight to it, perfect atop a stack of papers on the desk. 4 9 16" x 1 15 16" x 1 4". Earlyish 20th century I believe, hardwood, in beautiful condition, with a thin dark gray felt covering the back.
