This letter holder, crafted in Germany in the 1930s, exemplifies early modernist design inspired by the Bauhaus movement. The entire structure is made of brass in a warm, muted gold tone with a semi-matte finish. Four parallel, rounded dividers of increasing height create distinct sections for organizing correspondence or documents. The solid metal body rests on four small, rounded feet, with precise welds at the base emphasizing the quality of craftsmanship. The surface shows authentic natural patina and subtle traces of oxidation typical of aged, unrestored brass from the period. There are no engravings or decorative elements, underscoring the purely utilitarian Bauhaus character. The condition is very good – only minor scratches and signs of use are visible, with no damage or repairs.The form of this letter holder speaks with the voice of German modernism of the 1930s – an era when practicality and clear organization became answers to the changing needs of everyday life. The metallic sheen of the brass, worn by time and the hands of its users, evokes images of architects' or clerks' desks, where every letter had its place. The minimalist composition and noble patina recall an orderly world in which geometric discipline was not merely an aesthetic choice, but a daily ritual.The letter holder can be paired with other objects of restrained, geometric form – a chrome desk lamp, a minimalist wooden pencil box, or simple ceramics. It would work well in a study arranged in a modernist spirit, but also in eclectic interiors where it could be set alongside Murano glass or glazed pottery to highlight the subtlety of the brass surface. It can serve as a practical desk organizer or a decorative accent on a living room console; combining it with a light, smooth tabletop
