Antique Art Nouveau Copper Notebook Holder by Joseph Sankey

This beautifully crafted copper notepad cover was produced by Joseph Sankey & Sons around 1900, a period when the firm was at the forefront of English Art Nouveau metalwork.

Designed in the distinctive hammered and pressed copper style for which Sankey was renowned, the piece features embossed floral motifs and the word “NOTES” in bold stylised lettering, all framed within elegant Art Nouveau detailing.

Practical as well as decorative, this notepad holder would have originally been wall-mounted in a stylish Edwardian home, combining utility with the organic charm of the Art Nouveau movement.
