I like the idea that this was a discarded matchbox from earlier times, left behind in this grand ballroom. Except... it's from a different hotel. Why is a matchbox from the Sutton Place Hotel lurking about here at the King Edward Hotel? As far as I know they don't share a common owner. Perhaps this is guerilla-style marketing?
this suggests that good things must end. a life lesson many dont want to learn.
the matchbook is what the hotel was at a high point and used in comparison with the chains is almost heartbreaking.

I have one of those same chains in my house! It holds my bathroom window shut. Kind of funny!

it gives the feeling of abandonment and makes you wonder what happened.
