Mailbox boxes | Around 1800 | England

Elegant and refined, these mailboxes date from the Georgian period (around 1800) and testify to the British taste for functional and decorative furniture. Their curved shape and their interior adorned with a star pattern add a touch of distinction to these everyday objects. Originally, these boxes were used to organize and protect correspondence in English aristocratic residences. Today, they are a superb decorative element for an office or a library.
