Vintage Brass Incense/Cigarette Holder

A beautifully understated example of mid-century decorative metalwork, this vintage brass dish combines sculptural simplicity with organic detailing. Hand-hammered from solid brass, the softly folded form is accented by a delicate applied leaf, originally designed as a cigarette rest.

Produced during the mid-century period, when handcrafted brass objects became highly sought-after decorative accents, the piece sits somewhere between functional object and sculpture. Its asymmetrical shape, warm patina and subtle artisanal finish give it a distinctly timeless quality.

Today, it works beautifully as a small catchall for jewellery, matches, incense, or treasured objects, while retaining all the charm of its original purpose.
