Antique Handmade Solid Brass Spill Holder / Wall Pocket

A beautifully timeworn antique spill holder, handmade from solid brass and shaped with a simple, architectural elegance. Designed to hang by the hearth or fireplace, this small wall pocket would originally have held wooden spills or matches, ready for lighting candles or the fire.

The brass has developed a deep, warm patina over time, with soft variations in tone that speak to years of use. Small pierced holes around the pocket add both decoration and function, while the gently hammered surface gives the piece its character and honesty. A simple hanging hole at the top allows it to be easily wall mounted.

Today, it works perfectly as:

• a match holder beside a stove or fireplace
• a practical pocket for kindling spills
• or a quietly beautiful wall detail in a kitchen, hallway or living space
