Item Description
A rather wonderful Arts and Crafts oak log/coal box. Circa 1900.
Of country house proportions, the log box is of angled form, with heart shaped pierced decoration to the cresting. The door is fitted with wrought iron strap hinges and substantial iron handle. The central panel is carved in relief with a depiction of St George and the Dragon, with horses below. Remnants of the original polychrome painted border remain visible around the panel. The carved panel reflects the Arts & Crafts movement's admiration for medieval design and craftsmanship.
Retaining the original metal liner with carrying handles. This is removable if needed.
The bottom rail has historic woodworm, this is only located to the rail and has been fully treated as a precaution, and filled.
Originally intended for coal storage, the generously sized liner also makes it ideally suited for use as a log box.
