English Edwardian Brass Fox Letter Holder
About the Item
This early 20th-century English Edwardian letter holder combines utility with charm, showcasing a beautifully cast brass fox mid-leap, its form brimming with energy and detail. Framed by graceful grasses and a brass fence, the scene captures the dynamic spirit of the countryside, evoking a sense of motion and freedom. Practical in its time, such letter holders once graced desktops, neatly organizing daily correspondence.
Today, this piece transcends its original purpose, becoming a delightful accent for modern spaces. Whether perched on a bookshelf, adorning an entry console, or gifted to an animal lover, it offers a touch of whimsy and nostalgia. The warm patina of the brass enhances its timeless appeal, making it both a functional and decorative object. A perfect blend of Edwardian craftsmanship and pastoral beauty, this letter holder adds character and history to any home or collection.
