This Edwardian silver stamp box takes the whimsical form of a miniature wheelbarrow, handcrafted in Birmingham in 1907 by Deakin and Francis. The piece exhibits a polished silver finish with fully struck hallmarks along the side and a registration mark stamped on the supporting leg. A glazed viewing window on top reveals a green postage stamp showing a portrait of King Edward VII, set into a hinged and sprung lid that opens to a gilded interior. The front wheel features spokes and rotates freely on its axle, complemented by curved handles and legs at the rear. Measuring 3 cm high, 3 cm wide, and 7 cm deep, this desk accessory sits neatly upon an office desk or library table to store postage stamps.

FAQs

Popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, silver stamp boxes were compact desk accessories designed to house loose postage stamps, frequently crafted in novelty shapes such as wheelbarrows, chairs, or miniature trunks.

These items were predominantly constructed from sterling silver, featuring hinged lids, glass apertures for viewing stamps, and cast or solder-assembled components created by silversmiths.

Authentic British examples feature official silver hallmarks, including the lion passant denoting sterling purity, an assay office mark such as Birminghams anchor, and an Edwardian date letter.

Place the object on an office desk, console table, or bookshelf as part of a curated vignette alongside books, writing instruments, and other small antiques.

Dust regularly with a dry cotton cloth and apply non-abrasive silver polish sparingly, taking care to prevent cream or liquid from settling around glass panels or interior mechanisms.
