Old newspaper holder in wood with a golden brass exterior, originating from Belgium, dating to about 1980–1990, measuring 35 × 23 × 12 cm, in rather good used condition with wear to the gold finish and possible minor losses, and a two‑compartment interior for newspapers, magazines, letters or documents.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Elegant antique newspaper holder composed of a wooden frame and gilded metal cladding, probably brass or a coppery metal.

The front face is adorned with a remarkable bas-relief decoration depicting a rural scene with several figures gathered around a table, in a countryside setting. The sides are decorated with repetitive geometric motifs, while the upper metal handle facilitates transport.

The interior is divided into two compartments for storing newspapers, magazines, letters, or documents.

The whole piece exhibits an antique patina with traces of oxidation, signs of use, and wear to the gilded finish, visible in the photographs. These elements contribute to its vintage and authentic appearance.

Original decorative item, ideal for a classic interior, a library, or a collection of antique objects.
