An adorably sweet small letter rack made from oak wood. The openwork is inspired by Art Nouveau design but this item was most probably made during the Art Nouveau revival in the 1940s

A unique early 20th century letter rack, handmade from oak circa 1940. 

The naivety of this useful object conveys an enchanting warmth and informality which is both attractive and endearing. The botanically inspired openwork of this wooden piece is stylistically Art Nouveau. However, we believe this item to have been made in around 1940 by a young student, for a family member or a love interest.

The design has been carefully cut and assembled by hand, and offers two tiers to store letters. Whilst being a usable item, the object also provides a tangible sense of something entirely and lovingly handmade.
