Description from the seller
Set consisting of an antique, richly decorated brass matchbox holder on a foot (or pyrogène), made by Max Hartmann, and an antique brass presentation dish (or vide-poche) with a central heart-shaped handle, made by Paul Koch.

The match holder bears relief patterns of floral motifs, dragons and torches and is marked on the underside with the maker’s name Max Hartmann and the number 13622. The smaller dish features a relief of floral motifs and ornaments, combined with a strikingly formed handle finished with stylized animal and organic elements on either side. The dish is also marked on the bottom with the maker’s name Paul Koch and the number 13594.
