{"product_id":"letter-holders","title":"pair of late 19th century french brass correspondence holders","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese vintage french brass letter or card holders were often referred to as desk letter stands or correspondence holders. They were designed to sit on a desk or writing table and hold letters, notes, postcards, or calling cards upright using the slotted base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe decorative floral panels on the front are not just ornamental—they act as a visual anchor while the brass slot behind secures papers so they fan slightly and remain easy to access. Pieces like this were common in late 19th to early 20th-century writing desks, when handwritten correspondence was part of daily life. Today, they work beautifully as desk accessories, menu or place card holders, or even as small art or postcard stands, with the aged brass patina adding character and warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSourced from an antique shop in Lille.
