FAQs

Edwardian shell carriers were originally manufactured to transport military artillery ordnance during the early 20th century, often constructed from heavy-duty leather to withstand rigorous field conditions.

These pieces typically utilise thick, vegetable-tanned harness leather moulded into rigid cylindrical forms, frequently reinforced with stitching, brass rivets, and structural seams.

Authenticity is determined by the heavy patination of the hide, period-specific hardware, makers stamps, and genuine signs of functional wear rather than artificial distress.

This piece works effectively as a sculptural waste paper basket beside a desk or fireplace, adding historical texture and rich colour to a study or living space.

Preservation involves dusting with a dry cloth and occasionally applying a specialist microcrystalline wax or leather conditioner to prevent the hide from drying and cracking.
