Hand Paperweight

$352

A small icon of Viennese modernism. Cast in solid brass at the Auböck workshop in Vienna, this sculptural hand doubles as a paperweight or object of art. Its smooth form and subtle humor are unmistakably Auböck — modern, tactile, and made to bring a touch of personality to the desk or shelf.

Dimensions: 3.35 in
Material: brass cast; polished
Care: Brass naturally darkens over time. To maintain shine: Use Nevr-Dull wadding for light stains and plated surfaces. Use Autosol polishing paste for deeper tarnish. Apply with gloves, rub gently with a soft cloth, and avoid paper towels. Keep polish away from wood, leather, horn, or cane. Wipe fingerprints promptly to prevent permanent marks. In humid climates, polish more frequently.
