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!
