AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful and very detailed antique letter holder (or napkin holder) made of heavy, solid brass, originating from France.

This stylish desk accessory dates from the early 20th century (circa 1920) and shows a refined combination of lavish Baroque scroll motifs and organic Art Nouveau influences. At the front there is a characteristic, integrated shell-shaped tray, originally intended for stamps or paper clips. The rack features three compartments to neatly store letters, cards or documents. Today, this object is also particularly loved and decoratively used as a napkin holder on a chic, set dining table. An eye-catcher for any classic or eclectic interior!
