pair of vintage fibreboard leather & metal lost property boxes

New bedside tables were required for the east wing of H is for Home Mansions. We’d actually been on the look out for a couple of vintage wooden crates for a few months without success. And then we spied these two lovely boxes at the Thursday flea market – bingo!!

They’re old, lost property boxes from a railway station. Constructed from fibre board with leather & metal trim – and beautiful stencilled numbers.

The butler has installed them in the master suite. They’re just the right kind of age & style for linking up vintage/retro with country antiques – a common theme throughout our house. We love them – and at £15.00 the pair they’re the buy of the month!
