Victorian Walnut Correspondence Box

19th century
Description

A beautiful Victorian tabletop correspondence box dating from the late 19th Century. It is made of burr walnut with a lovely rich patina and decorated with ornate gilt brass studded mounts with white ceramic cabochons. It has two letter slots on the top beside ivorine labels "Unanswered" and "Answered". The interior is divided into two sections to correspond with the different slots and it comes with a working key.

It is in good original condition and displays beautifully. There are a few small knocks and marks around the outside and general signs of age and light use but nothing detrimental. The interior is lined with decorative red paper which has a few small stains and losses but nothing untoward and it is certainly a usable piece. The box has been cleaned and gently polished and is ready for use.

The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.

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.
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.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
