SOLD
Can't quite work these out. They are drilled out for a candle or more probably some dried flowers but they're not hollow. I had to clean them up extensively, they had obviously been stored in a shed judging by their condition and their contents. But once dusted down and given a rub of good polish, what a delight! They are heavy, coming in at just over 1kg each, are approx 9cm square at the base and are 30cm tall so would make interesting, albeit very large, bookends. They are hand carved with a sun design on the angle and may well at one time have been painted or varnished as there is a kind of dark residue that does rub off although it doesn't look like a patina. I will leave any final clean up to the new owner, although I think they actually look pretty good as they are. They both have some slight cracks as you may expect but there's nothing threatening. Lovely items.
