Baroque brass magazine rack, wall-mounted brass match holder.

Superb antique wall match holder in brass, in an elegant neo-Renaissance/baroque style. This piece is distinguished by its magnificent mask (sculpted face) at the top, surrounded by refined volutes and numerous finely crafted 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 repurposing: can also be used as a wall letter holder or a catch-all, for original and characterful decoration. A typical object from smoking rooms or fireplaces of the late 19th to early 20th century, both practical and very decorative. 💛 The brass has a beautiful shine with a slight patina that highlights the reliefs. 📏 Dimensions: Height: 28.5 cm Width: 9 cm 💡 Condition: good overall condition, normal signs of age (see photos).
