A beautifully preserved example of 19th-century luxury, this piece showcases rich, supple brown leather with a handsome aged patina, offering both function and classic British elegance.

At its center, a shield-shaped brass escutcheon houses an original working key, a rare and desirable feature for collectors. Open the lid to reveal a sumptuous dark green Moroccan leather interior, thoughtfully designed with letter separators for organizing correspondence and documents. The box is stamped "Albert Barker Manufacturer 5 New Bond Street London,".

Measuring 9.5 inches wide, 7.5 inches high, and 5 inches deep, and weighing 3 pounds, this letter box makes a striking statement atop a desk, sideboard, or writing table. It remains in very good antique condition, showing only minor, expected signs of age and use. Please note, by design, the lid does not fully tilt backward and should be held open by hand when accessing the interior.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a fine Victorian desk accessory with its original key, seldom found in such well-kept condition. Perfect for collectors of antique writing accessories, Anglophiles, or those who appreciate the art of letter writing and fine historical objects. See less
