There is a small ritual to arriving home: the door, and the keys that go where they always go. A key holder is one of those quiet objects you reach for every day without thinking about it.

These are vintage brass key holders, found and restored by hand. The brass is cast and engraved in old motifs, galloping horses, floral scrollwork, a heavy key, a horse and carriage, each one mounted on a backplate with hooks below. The marks of earlier years are left in the metal, because that is where the character lives.

Fixed by the door or along a hallway, it holds keys, a dog's leash, a spare set for guests. The kind of piece that stays useful long after the trends around it have moved on.

The details: Restored vintage brass, wall-mounted with hooks. Choose from seven designs: Double Horse, Bold Galloping Horse, Floral Galloping Horse, Floral Key, Bold Key, Horse Carriage, and Elegant Knob. Care: wipe with a dry, soft cloth and keep away from damp.
