Description: Beautiful Victorian Papier Mache Hand Painted wall rack with lidded storage. Probably for mail or gloves. Antique Victorian hand-made papier-maché wall mounted rack with a long covered storage well. Decorated in the Aesthetic style popular from 1870 – 1895. In addition to thistles and floral spray, contains “cookies” of sailing ship and and a mountain landscape. Black japanned background has lost much of its shiny gloss except underneath and inside the covered storage area. Most of these pieces are English. Hallmarks: None. Approximate age: circa 1880 Dimensions: 10” wide x 11.5” tall x 3.75” deep. Storage area is approx. 3” tall in front and 4.75” tall at the wall. Sloped lid over storage area is 4.75” deep. Hanging holes are 8.25” apart CTC. And approximately 0.25” wide (diameter) with 0.5” tall with notch at 12 o’clock. Condition: Good giftable condition. Only mentionable issue is slight dullness to black lacquer (interior and back retains gloss, but exterior gloss eroded from years of cleaning). Lack of crispness to decoration on lid of box. No structural damages, such as chips or divots in underlying piece. Unpacked weight: 1 lb. 2 oz. Always happy to pass through discounts on combined shipping. I only charge actual postage, and always use recycled packing materials. Note some photos appear redundant because I take photos from all possible angles. On symmetrical items, these photos may appear redundant when there are no distinguishing differences or condition issues between side views. I gladly accept returns, but please note I do not pay return postage unless there was a significant error in my description. The item listed is being sold as is, as pictured and as described to the best of my knowledge. All dimensions and weights approximate. If you have a question or an assumption on an item prior to purchase, please ask. I much prefer to take the time on the front end to make sure you will be satisfied with your purchase.Remember, when buying vintage expect imperfections as these items have a history and have been in the possession of others. I try to list EVERY flaw which would be commented on something in an antique or vintage condition – this does not mean all imperfections resulting from normal wear & use require comment. My goal is to have no rude surprises upon receipt.
