WICKWAR & CO. 6 POLAND ST. Mnfrs. to H.M. Stationery Office

An Unusual Mid 19th Century Black Morocco Leather Documents Box with a recessed brass handle at the rear, and a drop front. The front falls forward when two buttons at either side of the interior are pressed. This is the first box of this type I have seen with this feature. It gives you easy access to documents even when the box is closed. The black leather-lined interior has raised sides & contains a removable desk tidy, pen tray and ink bottle. Inside the lid, a trellis of leather straps keeps small papers etc. in order. On the right side, a pair of studs gives the box extra rigidity in the event of an impact. The lock is stamped Bramah Patent London and has a replacement key. The maker's details are gold embossed on either side of the lock.

Sustainability

Antique and vintage goods are both stylish and sustainable.

They have a low carbon footprint thanks to their existing lifespan and they help reduce deforestation because no trees are being cut to produce them.

They help reduce landfill because, unlike mass-produced non-recyclables, they are high quality in material and craft, and are destined to outlive most other possessions.

Everything we buy interacts with the environment. Second hand furniture and accessories are not only unique, characterful and nostalgic, but also contribute to a sustainable home.
