Antique Embossed Metal Wall Pocket – Grimoald I Lombard King – Medieval Revival

Antique embossed metal wall pocket featuring a portrait medallion of Grimoald I, King of the Lombards. Likely made in Germany, Austria, or Northern Italy, circa 1880–1910, during the late‑Victorian / early Jugendstil period when medieval revival motifs were popular in decorative metalwork. Embossed Grimoald.

This piece is made of embossed brass or seltzer with a dark bronze patina. The pocket is open by design (no hinge ever present), intended for calling cards, notes, or small household items. The portrait and scrollwork are crisp and well‑defined, giving it strong decorative appeal.

A rare subject — Lombard kings are far less common than Charlemagne or Barbarossa motifs — making this an interesting piece for collectors of medieval revival décor, European metalware, or historical portrait items.
