Description
Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, c.1905, with raised “ER VII” royal cipher. Set in unpainted rendered section of random rubble stone boundary wall.
Appraisal
This post box is an attractive item of early-surviving mass-produced cast-iron work that makes a subtle impression in the streetscape. The various raised details enhance the design quality of the composition, while the royal cipher in particular is of importance as a tangible reminder of Ireland as part of the British Empire.
