Measurements: 3.5” tall × 6.25” diameter
Match Holder Depth: 1.75”
A handsome antique bronze pyrogène featuring a richly detailed match holder surrounded by a broad circular tray. Originally designed to store matches and collect spent matchsticks, pieces like this were a staple of late 19th and early 20th century households, often displayed on desks, mantels, and library tables.
The central holder is decorated with a repeating floral motif and fine vertical detailing, while the warm aged bronze finish adds wonderful depth and character. Today, it makes an elegant accessory for candles, fireplaces, studies, and English-inspired interiors.
Condition Notes:
- Beautiful aged bronze patina throughout
- The match holder opening is slightly out of round
- A few dents present to the match holder
- Minor surface wear consistent with age and use
- Structurally sound and displays beautifully
A charming and increasingly difficult-to-find decorative accessory that brings both function and old-world character to a collected home.
