This exceptional Pyrogène is a faithful reproduction of the matchstick holders found throughout Europe—especially in France—in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. At that time, Pyrogènes were often found on bistro or bar tables and served several purposes:
The matches were stored in the upper cylindrical container.
The grooved surface was used for lighting.
In addition, many companies used the decorative pieces as advertising media and often gave them away for free to bars.
The Pyrogène can still be used in a variety of ways today – be it for matches or as a holder for small objects such as toothpicks.
