The elegance of Historicism captured in a single object. This Viennese figural bronze newspaper holder (late 19th century) features two richly pierced side panels adorned with vegetal and grotesque motifs; at the corners, delicate winged figures guard the inner compartment. The warm, golden patina of the bronze beautifully contrasts with the tone of the textile insert. Ideal for highlighting an interior, a library or music room, evoking the refined atmosphere of a salon.
