Unusual Oak & Brass Letter Rack or Holder by William Tonk C.1890

19th century
Sold by Puckerings
Description

A lovely and unusual letter rack made by a well renowned metal worker, William Tonk of Birmingham. The base which is made from solid English Oak and is impressed with the makers mark, W T & S under a stylized sun.

The cast outer panels are what make this one stand out, an attractive thick brass plate with a central circular motif cast with the word " Letters " in the centre. This is the same panel back and front, and the central panel created from a brass wire mesh, attached to the thick brass frame which terminates in a circular twisted handle at the top.

Dating to the late Victorian era, this smart desk accessory remains in excellent condition. The wood base measures 7" 3 1/4" and the rack standing 6 1/4" to top or handle.
