Gilt-tooled borders and a small central floral motif were a familiar language on writing desks through much of the twentieth century, borrowed from bookbinding traditions where leather and gold leaf marked something as worth keeping. This letter holder wears that same decorative vocabulary, its deep red surface framed with a fine gilt geometric border and a small gilt floral crest on each tiered section. Practical as much as decorative, it would suit a desk or console where correspondence is kept in view rather than filed away.
The letter holder has three graduated tiered sections rising from a flat rectangular base, each panel finished in deep red with a gilt-tooled geometric border and a central gilt floral motif near the top edge.
