Beautifully ornate late Victorian / early Edwardian brass matchbox holder, designed in the style of a small holy water font. Features rich Baroque/Rococo revival decoration with scrolling foliage, crowned finial, winged cherub motif, and mythical beasts to the sides.
The compartment would have held a standard slide matchbox, while the small basin below was used to catch spent matches or occasionally as a striker area. A small hole at the top allows for easy wall mounting.
This type of decorative match holder was typically hung in parlours, kitchens, or near fireplaces in late 19th–early 20th century homes, serving both a functional and ornamental purpose.
Material: Brass (pressed/cast detail)
Period: c.1890–1910
Style: Baroque / Rococo Revival with ecclesiastical influences
Condition: Good antique condition with age-related patina and wear consistent with use
