Pair of vintage Spanish souvenir castanets, painted with colourful scenes of Spanish culture – one showing a matador in the bullring, the other a flamenco dancing couple. Marked “Rdo. de España” (Recuerdo de España – Souvenir of Spain) and finished with red and yellow braided cords in the colours of the Spanish flag.
Lightweight painted wood, made for display or light use rather than professional performance. Likely dating from the mid to late 20th century, these make a great decorative touch for a music room, travel-themed display, or for collectors of Spanish cultural memorabilia.
Condition: In good vintage condition with some light surface wear from age. Still functional for producing the classic clicking sound, though primarily intended as souvenirs.
