Bring a touch of Old World romanticism and Hollywood Regency glamour to your space with this rare, 1940s Italian matchbox holder. Features 3D sculptural whimsical cherub putto riding a mythical dragon. The entire piece is finished in a striking, textured gold-tone finish that beautifully catches the light.

This stunning piece is designed to stylishly conceal a standard small slider matchbox and makes a perfect decorative accent for a bar cart, coffee table, or fireplace mantel. What a conversation piece!

Listing is for 1, I have 2 available. Both are in the same excellent vintage condition and don't look to have been used, but you can see for yourself in the pictures. Both come with the original gold matchbox with gold wax matches. Match box is stamped made in Italy.

Measures 2" high x 1 3/4" wide x 1 1/4" deep
