ABOUT PRODUCTID 19803
This lyre-shaped brass music holder is an artifact from the early 20th century, crafted entirely from solid brass. Its construction is defined by symmetrical, openwork lines and decorative curves—hallmarks of the Art Nouveau era—visible in the rhythmic swirls and the central quatrefoil motif. The piece serves to hold sheet music in place on wind instruments or music stands. Its matte surface displays areas of subtle shine from years of handling, blending with the warm, golden patina. Signs of oxidation and minor scratches attest to its age, while visible mechanical joints reflect skilled hand or early machine assembly. The clip retains all original components, without modern replacements or conservation marks. It is preserved in very good condition for its age, with attractive patina and naturally occurring signs of wear and use.This small accessory speaks in the voice of its era, when music and craftsmanship formed an inseparable unity. The Art Nouveau lines conjure a spirit of nature and lightness, while the gentle glow of patinated brass recalls the hands of early musicians in rehearsal halls and salons. The lyre motif—symbolizing harmony and creativity—lends the piece a noble, poetic undertone, as if to encourage each note to be graced by its presence.The clip can become a refined detail in the display of musical instruments or a vintage collection in a home library. It pairs well with antique sheet music, framed musical prints, or period music stands. In contemporary interiors, it is best placed against dark wood or richly textured fabrics, allowing the brass patina and Art Nouveau form to stand out. Within eclectic arrangements, it may serve as 'jewelry' on a shelf with vinyl records or among personal music mementos.
