Early 20th century letter holder of a racing jockey

£90.00
sold out

Early 20th‑century brass letter holder shaped as a racing jockey — a compact, functional sculpture that brings vintage sporting charm to any desk or entryway. Cast in warm, aged brass with a muted patina, the piece captures dynamic motion: the jockey bent low, reins taut, the horse’s musculature simplified into elegant, streamlined forms. The slot behind the figure holds letters and notes neatly while remaining unobtrusive, making it equally suited to a mantel, hall table, or study.

Dimensions are modest and practical; weight gives it stability without feeling heavy. Wear consistent with age — gentle surface oxidation and faint tool marks — adds authenticity and character. This letter holder pairs well with leather‑bound ledgers, period ephemera, or modern minimal interiors that benefit from a single, spirited accent. A tasteful choice for collectors of equestrian memorabilia, Art Nouveau–era objects, or anyone who appreciates functional decor with a narrative.
