Compact and characterful matchbox holder from the 1950s, made of solid brass. The minimalistic engraved motif featuring a bull and figure reflects the clean and graphic Midcentury design language.
Designed to hold a standard matchbox, the piece adds weight and presence to an everyday object. The decoration appears on both sides, executed in a simple, linear style typical of the era.
Produced by A.G. Bunge, a German manufacturer known for practical metal objects in the mid-20th century, often focusing on functionality and restrained design.
Marked on the inside.
