Antique cast iron wall mounted match holder

$65.00

Antique cast iron wall-mounted match holder, featuring charming embossed details of cottages, trees, and a bold floral motif. With its arched Gothic-style top and rustic patina, this piece would have once hung by the hearth or stove to keep matches close at hand. Both decorative and functional, it’s a wonderful piece of late 19th to early 20th century ironwork that adds old-world character to any kitchen, fireplace, or country-style interior.

Dimensions 3.5 x 10”

Function & Use

These were hung near the kitchen stove or fireplace, where matches needed to be handy for lighting fires, oil lamps, or candles. Matches at the time were strike-anywhere, so cast iron was a practical striker surface.

 Age & Origin

  • Likely late 1800s to early 1900s.
  • Similar rustic and floral designs are found in German, English, and American cast iron work of that period.
  • The cottage motif hints at a European influence, possibly German or English.
