T (for Token of Love!) Hand-carved Art Nouveau-esque Paper Weight with Stylized Hearts drawing of man in glasses and the head comes offSo lovely, and surely someone has a T in their life this was meant for.

Earlyish 20th century I believe, hardwood, in beautiful condition, with a thin dark gray felt covering the back.
