Description

This is a fantastic curiosity, an Edwardian Poachers Ferret box or carrier - so when the ferrets weren't living down someone's trousers they would be transported around in this domed house.

With doors at each end, the ferrets could be accessed in a 'roll on, roll off' fashion and put to work.

Made from pine, and still in its original paint, the box stands on four little feet, has six breathing holes, is topped by a leather carrying handle, and is a real glimpse back to a rustic and very different way of life.

The box stands 28cm tall, 35cm long and is 16 cm wide. It is in a good solid condition, but bears the surface wear to be expected of an item of this age and use. There are a few small old worm holes, but like the ferrets, they are long gone.

This would look great in a kitchen or living room as a piece of Folk Art, and will certainly be a great talking point!

Please do not hesitate to get in touch if I can provide any further information or photographs.

I offer free postage across mainland UK and am very happy to help with quotes for shipping abroad.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Edwardian utility items reflect the practical domestic and field requirements of the early 20th century, often crafted by hand or in small local workshops for specific country pursuits.

These boxes were typically constructed from sturdy regional hardwoods and softwoods such as pine, oak, or elm, joined with hand-cut nails or basic joinery to withstand outdoor use.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate tool marks, genuine oxidisation on metal fasteners, natural wear patterns from field use, and historic surface finishes rather than modern synthetic coatings.

Placing a historical utilitarian object on a console table or bookshelf introduces organic texture and conversational historical interest to minimalist or transitional living spaces.

Preserve antique wood by keeping it out of direct sunlight, maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, and dusting gently with a dry, soft cloth without applying modern chemical polishes.
