ABOUT PRODUCTID 4276
This silver-plated brass toothpick holder, produced by Strachan Productions Goblets in England during the 1970s, is a compact accessory distinguished by its bulbous, vase-like silhouette and elegantly flared, uneven rim. Resting on three ornate feet shaped as stylized lion’s paws—a hallmark of Victorian and Edwardian revivalism—the vessel displays a cool, silvery metallic finish with a subtle matte sheen. Gentle patina and minor signs of wear trace its decades of use, while the finely detailed feet and balanced, rounded proportions anchor its design in both sturdy functionality and decorative flair. The surface is predominantly smooth, with delicate irregularities and light scratches typical for vintage metalware. The item is preserved in very good condition, with no major damages or repairs. This diminutive object quietly echoes the British tradition of domestic refinement from the late twentieth century, consciously referencing the motifs of earlier eras. The lion paw feet, once emblems of strength and status, are here reimagined as a whimsical nod to a time when even the smallest table accessory bore the imprint of artisan craftsmanship. Its silvery tone, gently muted by time, conjures images of a classic English drawing room—where every detail, however modest, had its place in the leisurely rituals of hospitality. The holder may be paired with fine porcelain or classic glassware, creating a refined vignette on a living room coffee table or sideboard in traditional or eclectic interiors. It lends a distinguished note to collections of decorative objects, and complements settings with Victorian influences, brass candlesticks, or historically inspired ceramics. In a contemporary space, it can serve as a singular accent, offering a subtle counterpoint to
