Vintage Brass Penguin Match Holder with Hanging Loop

A lovely piece of functional folk art, this vintage brass match holder is shaped like a charming little penquin, complete with wings, webbed feet, and a curved silver-tone beak. The head lifts off to reveal space for storing matches, making it as practical as it is delightful.

Likely midcentury and beautifully patinated with age, this piece can sit neatly on a shelf or be hung up using the little loop at the top, ideal near a wood burner, hearth, or even as a playful kitchen accent. It’s a rare and characterful object that brings warmth and a touch of humour to any room.
