Antique Pigeon Holes for correspondence, letters, or filing: this is a rare small well-proportioned country house estate office or butler's pantry piece, finely constructed in solid mahogany with a decoratively shaped pediment and nicely executed detailing. The vertical dividers are also shaped in the traditional styling, and the whole piece is wall-mounted using the existing brass mirror plates.
It dates from the early to mid-19th century, and provides a functional attractive storage for small files, books and papers. Would also look great in a period kitchen, perhaps for storage of cookery books? Overall dimensions are: 16 inches wide, 17 inches tall and 7.75 inches deep. I offer old Southwold, wider East Anglian art, quirky antiques, and more general interesting pieces.The artworks are mainly old plus a few newer local pictures, and associated subjects; both celebrated and lesser artists. The antiques lean towards quirky, folk-art, and "below stairs" country house or cottage pieces - and simply unusual pieces that catch my eye. They include furniture, metalwork, treen etc.
