This figural toothpick holder from Poland, crafted in the 1920s in the Art Deco style, represents a thoughtful blend of utility and sculptural expression. Made from solid metal, likely pewter or zinc alloy, it features a dynamic horse standing alongside a ribbed cylindrical holder. Its predominant color is a deep, antiqued silvery-black, typical of oxidized metal, accented with subtle golden-bronze highlights at the base and along mold lines. The piece sports a matte overall finish, with localized areas of gentle sheen resulting from decades of handling and use. The horse's geometrically elongated form pays homage to Art Deco’s stylized visual vocabulary, while the stepped, round base recalls classical columnar motifs of the era. The piece shows minor wear consistent with age: local surface rubs, light scratches, and a natural patina, all of which enhance its antique presence. The object remains in good original condition, with no visible repairs or restoration marks.In its compact form, one sees the spirit of the 1920s—a time when everyday objects aspired to both function and artistic presence. The horse’s sleek metallic outline—softened and burnished by years at the table—evokes an era when design sought modern rhythm while drawing inspiration from stylized nature. The ribbed holder and elegant animal motif whisper tales of urban sophistication where even the smallest
