They are period hand carved pieces as you can tell by the inside timber, the brass work period with a nice patina, these are an absolute gem, the campaign handles are singles pieces attached to the strap work which is very helpful when transporting full buckets of firewood or as they were intended, plates! We have lightly cleaned waxed and polished the timber, they are in very fine order throughout. These were originally made for the staff of great english country houses to carry plates in, they would also leave them by the stove to warm in the buckets, as mentioned today they are used for firewood to see either side of a wonderful brass and leather club fender (please see my other items).
