Sculptural Pair of Blacksmith Made Iron Rings antique art supplies Born Austin Kelly in DublinThese just struck me as a very beautiful pair, one ring fitting inside the other, neither quite round, the larger one a bit fatter than the smaller. Nice objects for the desk or table, useful as paperweights, satisfying to hold, and just lovely. Larger measures 4 11 16" across, 7 16" thick. Smaller 3" across and 5 16" thick. Hand forged, with lots of years on them, with nice surface variation as a result. Sold as a pair.
