Large decorative biscuit porcelain hand clasp depicting two hands entwined in a gesture of union and friendship. This type of symbolic object was particularly popular in late 19th-century bourgeois interiors, or as commemorative or funeral decoration. The model presented here stands out for its unusual XXL size and the delicate modeling of the cuffs and fingers. Its matte whiteness and neoclassical aesthetic give it a very elegant sculptural presence.
