Description

Wall-mounted cast-iron "wall box" post box, dated 1958, with "P7T" monogram. Set in roughcast wall.

Appraisal

An appealing post box representing an example of the mass-produced cast-iron work of the Enniscorthy foundry of Jessop Davis (fl. c.1890-1964). The raised detailing of the 'Poist agus Teileagrafa' monogram enlivens the otherwise functional design. The manufacture of post boxes of this style was undertaken on behalf of the state in the period following Irish Independence.
