Hand of Glory has dated this piece to the 1940s.
Made from the Portland stone after the heavy bombings of 1941 in London during WWII, the Houses of Parliament was severely damaged, the fallen stonework was collected for future restoration where possible with the original stonework, however not all original stonework was used due to extensive widespread damage so small pieces were used as book-ends, plaques, ash trays etc to raise money to fund restoration work after the war.
In very good condition
