Antique English Letters Box in Oak with Brass C.1905

1900 - 1920
Sold by Puckerings
Description

A wonderful table-top letter box made from solid English Oak mounted with a thick brass plate to the sloped top, with the red enamelled letters E R either side of a crown for Edward Reigns (Edward VII).

These boxes were for the collection of mail in grand hotels, private clubs and the homes of the aristocracy where a member of staff would collect the mail and take to the post, very civilized!

The bevelled glass window at the bottom was for the staff to see if there was mail to be collected, above this, the collection times are posted, accessed from the back of the door.

Excellent condition dating to the Edwardian era, around 1901-1910. Excellent condition with a footprint measuring 10" x 7 1/2" and stands 14 1/2" high. Complete with working tasseled key.

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.

Secure Transit

The Sustainable Choice

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.
