Description

A charming Edwardian oak country‑house letter box, beautifully made and full of period character. The sloped top is fitted with a metal letter slot crisply labelled “LETTERS”, sitting above brass label holders that would once have held the household’s postal instructions or collection times. Underneath there is a glazed panel so you can see if there is any post and series pigeons holes each designed for sorting incoming letters and telegrams — the lower section still bears its original metal “TELEGRAMS” plaque. There is also a small tray for collecting and carrying the day’s mail. Crafted in solid oak with a warm, mellow patina, the piece has side carrying handles and all the quiet practicality you’d expect from a well‑run country estate. Both decorative and functional, it makes a wonderful hallway feature or a characterful addition to a study or office.

Here at Sinclair's Antiques and Interiors we do our utmost best to ensure all our items are described and photographed to show any flaws or damage such as shrinkage splits, losses or lifts to veneer, repairs or marks. However, giving the age and the fact that each piece will have had years of polishing to create its own individual character we cannot describe every minor mark separately and therefore recommend you either visit our warehouse or request extra photographs.
