Beautiful Art Nouveau Copper and Brass Fire Fender, circa 1890
About the Item
A particularly good quality copper and brass fire fender with beautiful and elaborately cast sinuous solid brass corner spandrels of Art Nouveau design and a lovely planished copper front panel all set on flattened and beaded brass bun feet. In excellent original condition without damage and of a good large size, and with only minor and superficial marks and small dings consistent with age and careful use.
In the 19th century most of the rooms in a house had a chimney for open fires and the fender would be placed to denote the hearth and stop logs rolling off and reaching the rug or soft furnishings.
The fender is shown here with a pair of early 20th century brass firedogs and a duck basket grate.

Beautiful Regency Coromandel Writing Box c. 1830
Located in Heathfield, GB
A very fine Regency example, in solid coromandel of a superb colour.
The dark brown/black grain highlighted with creams and golds which run in natural stripes all over the box, Coromandel was a much prized exotic timber imported into the London docks and was usually used in small sections of veneer only due to the high cost of this wood. Here it is used in the solid and has developed a good patina. A further high quality detail is that solid brass string inlays have been added – a double band to the top and front – which sets off the Coromandel very well and is all inlaid by hand.
The central brass reserve to the top and brass escutcheon are shaped as open flower heads and are original also.
The box retains its original working steel key and opens on original hinges to reveal the writing slope. This is inset with a new black leather skiver with gold tooled border. The original skiver was black but was damaged and torn so we have replaced it with an identical skiver and matching gold tooling.
The inner writing slope is solid mahogany and it locks into the top of the box with small brass slide bolts. With the bolts released the slope folds and there is a small compartment beneath the slope in both sections of the box – perfect for storing paper and envelopes. There is also a compartment for inkwells and quill pens. A quill pen is designed to rest in an ebonised mahogany curved boat which is removable. It may seem strange to us now that feather and quill...
