Extraordinary pyrogène match holder constructed of lacquered papier-mâché and featuring scalloped round base, and hand applied gold stars applied to a dark navy background reminiscent of the basilica ceilings of Ravenna.
Good original condition, but there is a minor area of damage to a small portion ot the scalloped rim, and the underside striker has worn away with time. Option to have this remedied with an adhesive black striker if you wish, or if you prefer it in original condition - please let me know your preference. Please see images for depiction of damaged area.
Measures 3” tall.
Due to all pieces’ antique/vintage nature, minor imperfections may be present which reflect age and enhance character.
