Brass Tiered Letter Holder Mid Century Desk Organizer

This brass tiered letter holder is an unmarked desk organizer with four rounded divider arches, a heavy cast brass base, open waffle grid, and small ball feet.

The brass shows tarnishing and scattered dark spotting, and the two tallest divider arches have some wiggle, but the screws remain firmly attached and the organizer works as it should.

The stepped arch shape fits Mid Century Modern and Hollywood Regency style offices, libraries, and work spaces, while the four sections give papers, cards, stationery, or mail a place to stand upright.
