Description

This very finely cast heavy meal box was most likely originally used for storing cigars and the interior has a wooden lining. The box is in the form of a very ornate 13th century wooden coffer which is strongly bound with decorative metal strapwork and multiple hinges. It has a carrying handle at each end. The front has a detailed carved panel with gathered knights on horseback being addressed by priests presumably before the battle. On the inside of the lid, there is a cast inscription and a date of 1219. This most interesting box has an indistinct maker’s name with Copenhagen, Denmark below.
The metal has a patinated bronze finish. The box is in good original condition.
Height 9cm x width 21cm x depth 10cm
Robert Belcher Antiques was established in 1984 and is a high-quality retailer of interesting, rare antiques and decorative objects. After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.
You can contact Robert and Wendy by email or telephone to discuss items from their extensive catalogue of attractive pieces and make purchases. Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner.
All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.
Please enjoy viewing their collection of rare and interesting pieces and have the assurance that Robert and Wendy will do their utmost to make sure your experience is exceptional, as has been recognised by many customers who have bought with confidence regularly over the years.
