This letter rack originates from the Arts and Crafts period around 1910 and bears full marks for Samico Ltd of Birmingham. The piece is shaped from warm copper with a patinated finish and features embossed repousse seed pods and leaf motifs across the front panel. Structurally, it incorporates an integral loop handle at the top and four curved metal legs supporting the body. Signs of age include verdigris oxidation visible within the interior and around the upper rim. Measuring 14 cm in height including the handle, 12 cm in width, and 5 cm in depth, it serves as a functional desktop accessory for organising mail. In a contemporary home, this item finds a practical home on an office desk or library table to hold letters and envelopes. The compact proportions allow it to sit neatly alongside modern stationery while adding a period aesthetic to a workspace.

FAQs

Emerging in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Arts and Crafts letter racks emphasise hand-hammered metals, functional forms, and stylized organic motifs inspired by nature.

Craftsmen primarily utilised solid copper, brass, and pewter, often crafting pieces by hand using repousse and chasing techniques to create raised decorative patterns.

Authentic pieces frequently feature hand-hammered texture marks, rolled or riveted edges, natural age-related patina or oxidisation, and stylized botanical motifs characteristic of the movement.

Position the rack on an office desk, console table, or hallway side surface to organise daily correspondence or display decorative stationery alongside warm wooden furnishings.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners that strip away historical patina; light application of specialized wax preserves the copper surface without removing oxidisation.
