ABOUT PRODUCTID 16635
This desk letter holder, created in Germany in the 1920s, exemplifies the distinctive Art Deco approach to utilitarian craft from the interwar years. Made entirely of solid bronze, it features intricately hand-cut openwork panels with geometric and stylized foliate motifs typical of the era’s ornamentation. The rich warm tones of antique gold and brown patina transition fluidly to a matte satin surface that accentuates the precision of the perforated forms and variations in light. Both front and back are adorned with symmetrical plant and vine designs, while elegantly curved legs with coiled feet merge seamlessly into the side panels, reinforcing the geometric-floral dialogue of the period. The solid bronze body ensures durability, and the harmonious proportions (height 16 cm, width 10.5 cm, length 15 cm) offer practical storage for correspondence or documents on a desktop. The underside bears the maker’s signature. Condition: excellent, with original surface and delicate natural patina preserved – no visible traces of use or restoration. The measured elegance of the silhouette and the noble material seem to tell the story of interwar offices—an age when a letter holder was not merely a tool for organization, but a silent witness to personal notes and official correspondence. The gentle glow of bronze captures and reflects ambient light, recalling the ordered calm and deliberate economy so prized in the Art Deco era. The balanced ornament pays homage to a decade where function harmonized with decoration, and even everyday objects assumed the poise of small
