Brass Horse and Cart Letter Rack
This charming letter rack features a detailed brass horse pulling a cart, with a horseshoe-shaped base designed to hold correspondence. The piece likely dates to the early to mid 20th century, exhibiting a style reminiscent of Victorian or Edwardian desk accessories. The craftsmanship suggests it was intended as a decorative and functional item for a home office or study, adding a touch of equestrian elegance to any space.
Condition and Collectibility
The letter rack shows signs of age and use, with some patina to the brass, which is consistent with its vintage. While not pristine, this adds to its character and authenticity. This piece would appeal to collectors of brassware, equestrian memorabilia, or vintage desk accessories, offering a unique and charming addition to a collection or a distinctive piece of home decor.
