It was listed by Puckerings. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.

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.
