Antique Rarities

Description

During the Second World War the London Stonecraft Company were permitted to make souvenirs for sale to the general public to raise funds on behalf of HRH The Duke of Gloucester's Red Cross and St. John Fund. The objects they produced included bookends, inkwells, letter racks, ashtrays and serviette rings and they utilised stones recovered from historic bombed London buildings including the House of Commons. This is one of the latter and consists of a simple fragment of Portland stone from the buildings structure embellished with a bronze plaque in the form of a Royal Air Force badge and an enamelled brass roundel bearing the legend 'This stone came from the Houses of Parliament 1941' - the initials LS, standing for London Stone Company featuring in the relief of Big Ben and the Parliament buildings. Stone measures something over seven inches by six and is pierced just above RAF badge for hanging purposes. Price includes postage to any UK address. Please ask for quote for other destinations..
