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.

FAQs

A Victorian bankers letter plate is a heavy-duty brass architectural door fitting designed to accommodate substantial mail and documents, commonly installed on commercial and residential timber front doors during the late nineteenth century.

Authentic Victorian letter plates were typically cast in solid brass or bronze, featuring thick faceplates and heavy internal spring or gravity-hinged flaps designed to withstand frequent daily use.

Original period examples feature heavy cast construction, hand-finished edges, original fixing studs or bolt holes on the reverse, and natural oxidisation within unpolished interior recesses.

Installing a period brass letter plate onto a solid timber entrance door provides a historic focal point that complements contemporary exterior joinery and traditional architectural schemes.

Unlacquered brass hardware can be maintained using a metal polish applied with a soft cloth, while lacquered pieces should simply be wiped clean with warm water and microfibre to preserve the protective surface coating.
