Expressive brass letter holder cast as a finely detailed Victorian lady’s hand, complete with flared cuff and elegant sculptural form. Designed as a sprung clip, this piece would have held correspondence, visiting cards, or notes—an everyday object elevated through decorative craftsmanship.
The hand motif was deeply embedded in Victorian decorative language, symbolising refinement, presence, and human connection. This example has a rich, aged brass patina and pleasing weight, giving it both visual presence and practical function.
Equally at home on a writing desk, hallway table, or as part of a Victorian or eclectic interior.
