A striking antique brass wall match safe and striker featuring detailed figural relief of a rabbit and bird or pheasant surrounded by foliate forms. The sculptural design and rich patina give this piece wonderful character while also serving as a practical wall-mounted match holder.
Originally used beside fireplaces or stoves, match safes like this protected matches while providing a striker surface for lighting them. The lower compartment holds matches while the textured surfaces function as the striker.
Today this piece works beautifully as both functional fireplace décor and sculptural wall art, perfect for cabins, traditional interiors, or collectors of antique hearth accessories.
