A match holder that depicts the iconic bellboy figure ubiquitous in vintage tobacco advertisements. The bellhop's wireframe body and cylindrical toothpick/match case are crafted from polished metal, while its stylized head, signature cap, and standing base are carved wood with a varnished finish. Though an unidentified maker, the sculptural figurine embodies classic American Art Déco aesthetics.
Blending streamlined, geometric forms with imaginative figural motifs, it reflects the sleek yet whimsical industrial modernism that prevailed in the interwar era. The charming bellboy encapsulates both the glossy machined aesthetic and cheerful American commercial spirit of early 20th century design.
