Original Cast Metal Sprung Small Decorative Letterbox

Jon Nix — Sat, 26 Sep 2020 20:55:36 +0000

A heavy and durable letter box with classic decoration which has some age behind it and plenty of life left in it. It would be the perfect complement to a period property with a Georgian door, notwithstanding that the letter opening is somewhat small - and quite snappy - by today's standards ;)

In full working order, the letter box measures 27cm by 8cm (10.5in by 3in) in terms of outer dimensions, with an opening of 14cm by 3.5cm (5.5in by 1.5in.). The letter box is predominantly black in colour but has remnants of white paints on the edges from previous use.

Cast iron salt cellars

For those times when lightweight salt cellars won't do, we present to you a cast iron salt cellar. For those times when simple salt cellars won't do, we present to you a cast iron salt cellar formed of a woman and her baby in a cot. The salt flows from the back of the woman's head and from the foot of the cot. Well, you would, wouldn't you?

We're not sure, but it appears this lady is from the Low Countries and although it's rude to ask a woman her age, we reckon she's got more than a few miles on the clock.

The cot measures approximately 6cm (2¼ inches) in length and 2cm (¾ inches) in width and has rather flaky paint. The lady measures approximately 6cm (2¼ inches) in height with a maximum width of 5cm (2 inches) and she's in slightly better shape, looks-wise. Stoppers are present on both.

Danish Paro Design candle holder

Dating from the 1960s, this cast iron Danish candle holder is a stylish and decidely different addition to any decor, but particularly complements any mid-Century furniture.

Designed by Paro, its hexagon shapes accommodate 12 candles (12.7mm) and is approximately 12cm (5 in) in diameter. We think it would look equally good wall-mounted, but probably not with the candles!
