Ironmongery: a late-Georgian or Victorian iron sprung door latch, with brass D handles complete with brass return spring.  This original piece would suit a sympathetic door restoration project.   Overall dimensions of the back-plate are 4 inches wide by 3 inches tall.  A beautifully made piece, nicely patinated, these are hard to find in this untouched condition.

I offer old Southwold, wider East Anglian art, quirky antiques, and more general pieces.  The artworks are mainly old plus a few newer local pictures, and associated subjects; both celebrated and lesser artists. The antiques lean towards quirky, folk-art, and "below stairs" country house or cottage pieces – and simply unusual pieces that catch my eye.  They include furniture, metalwork, treen etc. Many sea-related items will deliver a 10% donation to the RNLI. 

All dimensions stated are in inches, and the prices include packing and shipping within the UK mainland.  I can ship overseas - just let me know where you are and I'll get a quote.

N.B. I pack and ship pictures using professional custom-made wooden (not card-board) boxes - these take me a little time to prepare dependent on demand, but I'll do my utmost to meet your delivery requirements.
