Match strikers, particularly those designed in novelty shapes, were popular accessories in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They served a practical purpose for lighting matches, often placed on tables or mantels as decorative items. The top hat design was a common motif, reflecting popular fashion and cultural trends of the era.
This particular item, with its heavy brass construction and top hat form, likely dates from the Victorian or Edwardian period. The patina and signs of wear suggest it has been used, adding to its historical character.
