These wonderful pieces would have been in a smart hotel, private club or aristocratic residence and mail placed in the box for taking either to the post office or hand delivered; very civilized! The staff would be able to see though the pierced panels if mail needed removing. The box is fitted with a lock and comes with a tasseled working key.
Beautiful condition, with the base measuring 6 5/8" x 5 1/4" and standing 7 5/8" tall at the back. made to either stand desk-top or be hung on the wall.
