Rare King George V Antique Leather Despatch Document Box Royal
Crafted from solid wood and richly clad in deep red leather, the surface is beautifully adorned with gold gilt detailing, including crowned royal emblems and an elegant cipher to the lid-symbols of authority, tradition, and imperial power. This was originally used to secure transport of official proclamations or royal decrees. The elongated, refined form-measuring approximately 20 inches long, 3.5 inches deep, and 4 inches high-gives the box a commanding presence, while remaining elegant and purposeful. Please review the photos for further condition assessment, A brass push-button latch secures the lid, adding both functionality and a refined finishing touch. The craftsmanship throughout reflects the high standards expected of official British government or royal household items of the period. Both decorative and deeply historical, this rare despatch box would make a distinguished statement in a study, library, or office setting. It stands not only as a beautifully made object, but as a tangible connection to the administrative and ceremonial workings of the British Empire under King George V.

I believe this to be early Italian handmade from the research I’ve done. This is a grapevine harvesting knife. It is extremely primitive and early looks very new but yet it’s still very functional and feels as though it’s made to open and close properly and it’s own unique handmade design. This is a rare rare artifact and I’ve done very little research and this is everything.

Rare and Very Early Pearlware Glazed Small Mug
A very early circa 1800 small and very delicately potted mug some 2.25 high (5.8cms) with a Sunderland lustre top band and finished in a pearlware glaze with an overpainted design of leaves, flowers and fruit all round the side and a thin lustre band at the base. These diminutive mugs are often described as being for children but that is not the case they were designed for adults for special occasions such as drinking tea which was a very expensive commodity in those days. Save for a 1 or so hairline visible more on the inside opposite the handle (See pic 5) it is in undamaged condition, there being no chips or repairs or any loss of the enamelling. There is some minor rubbing of the Sunderland lustre around the top rim but this is to be expected. I’ve had this for many years, surely 45 years+, in a display cabinet but we moved to a much smaller place recently and I’m having to dispose of my ceramic (and art) collections as we simply do not have the room to display them. For such a delicate item to have survived for so long and be in such good condition is quite remarkable. I’d rather not send it Small Packet for fear of damage so t. Double box it for extra safety. It will come well wrapped.

Rare antique from Paris, France a brothel matchbox with candles. Turn of the century – early 1900s. Historically referred to by collectors as brothel candles. Distributed out of Paris with this box celebrating the Grand Prix Paris 1900. Finding a box with labels still clear and having the original wax candles is uncommon. There is some age-appropriate wear as you would expect but the box structurally functions. The black metal candle holder insert is fully intact and holds the candles securely. Pictures pretty much show it accurately but please ask any questions you might have.

Rare Early Elm Plough Stock c1700 Primitive Sculptural Treen Antique Farming
A striking and highly sculptural early wooden plough stock, hand carved from a single piece of elm, displaying a powerful organic form and exceptional aged surface. The sweeping asymmetric wing, faceted hand-tool shaping and deep patina give the piece a strong visual presence-functionally driven yet almost abstract in appearance. It stands equally well as a piece of vernacular sculpture or primitive design object. This is not a later Victorian factory-made plough component, but a substantially earlier example of rural craftsmanship, hand-formed from a naturally curved compass timber using adze and axe. The construction and material are consistent with pre-industrial agricultural practice. The form represents a transitional development between the simple ard (scratch plough) and later swing-plough types. Of particular interest is the pronounced wing, which retains a rebate and fixing holes indicating it was originally fitted with an extended iron cutting edge. This suggests a more advanced soil-working function than basic early plough forms. The current iron tip/share is an old working-life replacement, indicating the piece remained in use and was repaired over time. The timber has been identified as elm, historically favoured for plough stocks due to its resistance to splitting and suitability for complex carved forms. Dating: Probably 17th to 18th century in manufacture, with continued use and repair into the 19th century. Condition: Honest age and agricultural wear throughout. Surface abrasion, shrinkage cracking and historic repairs consistent with long-term use. It has been oiled at some point. 25 x 14 x 7 inches. A rare survival of early agricultural craftsmanship with strong sculptural qualities-ideal for collectors of vernacular antiques, treen, primitive artefacts or interior display.
