This Polish key holder from the 1950s is crafted entirely from cast brass in a warm, muted shade of gold with a subtly matte finish. The central motif is a relief of a horse's head set within a stylised horseshoe, whose arms flow seamlessly into three hooks for hanging keys. The form combines functionality with a decorative spirit, typical of mid-century Polish modernism. The surface is smooth, with minor casting irregularities and a gentle patina that highlights its authentic vintage character. All elements are original, with no visible damage. Preserved in very good condition, bearing only delicate traces of natural ageing.Within this compact form, one can sense postwar optimism and the practical spirit of everyday life in the 1950s. The brass recalls artisanal precision, while the horse's profile and horseshoe – symbols of luck and strength – evoke the atmosphere of homes where even utilitarian objects could be considered small works of art. Though modest, the key holder seems to whisper of a time when durability and distinctive aesthetics were inseparable. Its subtle patina and gentle wear are both testimony to the passage of years and carriers of warmth and history.It may be hung in the hallway or just inside the entrance, where it serves as a practical and decorative accent on the wall. The piece pairs well with other objects from the era – brass frames, graphics inspired by Polish poster art, or ceramic details – but also finds its place in minimalist interiors, where its golden tone and organic shape become a subtle point of reference. For best effect, it is worth pairing with a light background or raw plaster texture to enhance the relief and noble patina of the brass.
