Antique Victorian Mahogany Stationary Box w. Perpetual Calendar, Bramah Improved
Located in Lisse, NL
Stylish and mint condition, antique desk or table piece.
This rare and beautifully crafted Victorian luxury letter box is a true testament to 19th-century craftsmanship and ingenuity. Made from rich, solid wood with a deep, warm patina, it blends functional design with timeless elegance. More than just a storage piece, this is a refined system for organizing correspondence, complete with a built-in perpetual calendar and integrated writing panel.
Behind the sleek double doors—one of which locks with its key—you’ll find a cleverly designed interior fitted with multiple compartments for letters, documents, and notes. At the top is a charming perpetual calendar with original sliders displaying the day, date, and month—an eye-catching and practical feature.
What truly sets this piece apart are the two fold-out panels inside each door. One features a removable writing surface, ideal for jotting down notes with a pencil or crayon. The opposite panel includes straps for securing cards or memos. In addition, there are hidden drawers and compartments for pens, stamps, or other stationery, making this a uniquely functional piece for both historical display and modern-day use.
The box features two front doors—one with its original Bramah lock, marked “Bramah Improved”, a renowned name in high-security locks since the 18th century.—perhaps a postmaster, a ship's purser, or a gentleman's estate office.
So, if you would rather sit down and write someone a real letter or postcard then, in our view, you will be the right custodian for this stylish and beautifully made antique.
Mind you, our fair price for this great value for money antique even includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days.
Maximum width x height x depth when closed: 16.2 x 14.4 x 10.1 inches.
Ideal for:
*Collectors of antique desk accessories or postal items.
*Interior decorators looking for a unique office or library statement piece.
*A refined and functional letter organizer.
*An exceptional gift for lovers of history and craftsmanship.

Shop Unique Furniture on 1stDibs
When it comes to shopping for vintage, new and antique furniture — whether you’re finally moving into that long-coveted loft apartment, ranch-style home, townhouse or furnishing your weekend house on the lake — you should think of your home as a stage for the seating, tables, lighting, storage cabinets and other pieces that best match your personality.
Coziness, comfort and creating a welcoming space are among the important things to consider when buying furniture, whether that means seeking strict cohesion or rooms characterized by a mix-and-match assembly of varying shapes, colors and materials. And for those who now work from home, exercise, eat and relax within the same four walls every day, they’ll also want to think about flexibility and an innovative approach.
Have you built your dream kitchen?
Is your current living-room furniture all that it could be?
Does your toast-worthy bar or vintage bar cart exude equal parts class and cheeriness?
And importantly, is your home office — backyard or otherwise — a happy one, regardless of the design style you happen to gravitate toward?
Although mid-century modern, rustic, minimalist, Art Deco and contemporary looks remain popular, they aren’t the only styles available to design connoisseurs.
Furniture styles are nothing if not fluid, meaning what’s popular one year may not be the next. That’s why it’s crucial to not only pay attention to interior-design trends but also focus on the styles that speak to you. That way, you (and your interior designer, if that is in the plans) can work to create a home that’s entirely your own, complete with impressively modern decor as well as an array of history’s universally renowned iconic designs.
It’s difficult to single out well-recognized designs from what is a crowded pantheon of celebrated and seminal furnishings. Certain outstanding designs have such stellar quality they’ve endured for decades as bona fide cultural treasures, still being manufactured, in many cases, by the same venerable companies that shepherded them into being (think Herman Miller, Knoll and Fritz Hansen). Some works come immediately to mind as contenders for any short list. When you’re discussing the most popular mid-century modern chairs, for example, no tally would be complete without citing designs by Arne Jacobsen, Charlotte Perriand, Charles and Ray Eames and Hans Wegner.
Good furniture, be it authentic vintage furniture or new & custom furniture, allows you to comfortably sit and tell your favorite stories. Great furniture tells a story of its own.
On 1stDibs, find everything from sofas to serveware to credenzas to coffee tables, and every other type of antique, vintage and new furniture you need to create a singular space that you’ll be proud to call home.
