Victorian Brass Crown Wall Pocket

Description

Victorian English crown-form wall pocket dating to circa 1880, hand-crafted in brass with pierced detailing and a rich time-worn patina. Originally intended to hang near the hearth for matches, letters, or small cuttings, the sculptural crown silhouette reflects the whimsical yet regal sensibility of late 19th century English decorative arts. A striking accent piece with strong folk character and warm antique presence.
