Antique Chinoiserie Lacquered paper mache match holder/striker with a striker for non-safety matches underneath. Made from Paper Mache, with a black lacquer and gilded scene of people sitting on a bench, and a couple in a park. C1890
Chinoiserie was a decorative style in Western art, furniture, and architecture, especially in the 18th century, characterised by the use of Chinese motifs and techniques.
There is a hole for the item to be mounted onto the wall, the striker is in a fare condition, slight damage to the top. A lovely little oddity for any collector of chinosierie and very collectable.
Dimensions: H: 18cm W: 6.5cm D: 4.5cm
