Up for sale is an antique gold spelter art nouveau brass book and letter holder! This is a beautiful, art nouveau style desk item that can bring that awesome look to your workspace, today! It is pretty interesting and unique, and is made out of mostly brass with some gold spelter or gold leaf adornment throughout. This has worn through in several spots on the piece, so please see all photos for a full view of the item and its condition before making your purchase.&nbs...p; This is definitely an antique item and not a reproduction.There are two pegs in the front that will hold a book open to your placement for ease of viewing. I imagine it would have been used at a bank or maybe accountants office or maybe a library to hold records open for ease of viewing or adding records into the book. The back side has two slots where letters would fit perfectly, so this is likely more of a private desk item than a general use kind of thing. It is ornately adorned with a beautiful woman figural on the front piece and a unique design. All parts and pieces of the item are present and everything is fully functional, and there are no breaks/damage/repairs beyond what I have described herein. (Look at me, it's making me sound more like a lawyer already!)The piece measures in at 7 1/4" wide, 7 1/2" deep, and 6 1/4" tall. It weighs in at 2 pounds, 7.7 ounces.
