1920s Art Deco Hand-Hammered Brass Matchbox Holder & Ashtray by WMF

Bring a touch of early 20th-century German craftsmanship into your interior with this exceptional Art Deco matchbox stand and integrated tobacciana tray. Crafted by the prestigious Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik (WMF) at their Geislingen factory, this piece features the iconic, genuine "ostrich inside a beehive" stamp with the "G" mark, dating it precisely between 1910 and 1925. The piece is a magnificent representation of the Arts & Crafts and Art Deco transition, boasting a rich, hand-hammered brass texture and a finely detailed beaded geometric rim. It remains entirely original, down to the historical central slot screw on its base. Whether used for its original purpose, displayed in a smoking room, or repurposed on an entryway console as a unique business card holder, this century-old object carries incredible historical charm and character. Condition: Beautiful antique state with an authentic, untouched warm brass patina. A rare, signed collectible for connoisseurs of antique European metalware. CODE 9. I provide tracking number.
