AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Stunning antique brass wall-mounted match holder in an elegant ne Renaissance / Baroque style.
This piece is distinguished by its magnificent mascaron (carved face) at the top, surrounded by refined volutes and numerous finely worked details. At the bottom there is a finely drawn cherub.
Originally designed as a match holder with a small integrated ashtray, thanks to its lower bowl for collecting ashes.
Possible alternative use: it can also be used as a wall-mounted letter holder or catch-all, for an original and characterful decoration.
A typical item from smoking rooms or fireplaces of the late 19th – early 20th century, practical yet highly decorative.
The brass has a beautiful shine with a light patina that highlights the reliefs.
Dimensions:
Height: 28.5 cm
Width: 9 cm
Condition: good overall, normal signs of wear (see photos)
