Arts & Crafts William Tonks & Sons Planter Pugin Liberty Christopher Dresser Era

Description

Up for auction is 

ARTS & CRAFTS AESTHETIC MOVEMENT ORNATE PLANTER BY WILLIAM TONKS & SONS, PUGIN LIBERTY CHRISTOPHER DRESSER ERA An excellent Arts & Crafts / Aesthetic period ornate planter - brass with a metal liner, unknown maker but will be of interest to those collectors of designs by Christopher Dresser, Pugin and Liberty metal ware. It has no identifying marks apart from the diamond registration impressed mark on each panel (so two per side) with a date of 22nd November 1878. I have recently been advised that this is a design produced by William Tonks & Sons, who supplied high quality items to Liberty of London.

Measurements: just over 7inches high from the feet to the top, just over 6inches wide across the top. 

Condition: good used condition with wear to the metal as seen on the photos so could do with a decent clean and re-blackening, has a little split to the top at one corner - could be restored however minimal and in keeping with the age of the item. Has not been cleaned.

Weight without packaging: 1.350kg.

Shipping

My postage costs explained

I pack using only new boxes, new bubble and new packing peanuts and as a result there is an additional small charge for this included within my P & P costs quoted within the listing (this ranges from £0.50 - £3.00) per parcel).  The charge is not me making further profit, simply ensuring that the goods I sell have the best chance possible of arriving with you in the same condition.   My feedback comments are testament to this high standard so please take the opportunity to review these and ensure you are happy with my trading conditions as I will not compromise on this, thank you.
