An Art Nouveau Copper Matchbox Holder
This striking matchbox holder is crafted from copper and showcases the flowing, organic lines characteristic of the Art Nouveau style. The front panel features a repoussé design depicting a woman’s face, framed by swirling hair and foliage. This piece likely dates to the early 20th century and would have been a functional yet decorative addition to a home or office. The copper has developed a lovely patina over time, enhancing its antique appeal.
Condition and Collectibility
This matchbox holder shows signs of age and use, consistent with its antique status. There are minor surface scratches and areas of tarnish, which contribute to its character. The striker surface is present, though may show wear. This piece would be a desirable addition to a collection of Art Nouveau objects or antique copperware, and would also serve as a unique and stylish desk accessory.
