Description
Folk‑Carved Wooden Bird Match Holder — Mid‑20th Century A charming mid‑20th‑century folk‑carved wooden bird with warm patina and inset recess for a matchbox — full of character and craftsmanship. Full Description A delightful hand‑carved wooden bird, likely dating from the mid‑20th century, with stylised feather detailing and a rich, polished surface. The carving captures the bird’s form with simple, expressive lines and a long beak reminiscent of a kingfisher. To the reverse, a recessed compartment reveals its practical purpose — designed to hold a small matchbox, making it both decorative and functional. The piece embodies the warmth and ingenuity of traditional folk craft, with a mellow patina that speaks to its age and use. Details Period: Mid‑20th century Origin: Continental Europe Material: Hand‑carved wood Dimensions: H 9.5 cm | W 12 cm | D 4.5 cm Condition: Very good vintage condition with age‑related wear and patina consistent with use Provenance: Private collection Styling Notes Perfect for adding rustic charm to a mantel, desk, or shelf. Its tactile surface and whimsical form make it a conversation piece in any interior. Delivery Delivery is not included. Please use the Delivery Quote tab prior to purchase. Collection from our Sussex showroom is welcome, and nationwide couriers can be arranged on request.
