victorian mahogany casket

Large Victorian mahogany casket with a makers label underneath – ‘John Taylor & Son Edin. Ltd, Cabinet Makers Edinburgh’ and product design number A1894, which could also be the date 1894. The deep pagoda top has brass inlay and a nicely carved frieze, and opens to show a single area inside which is polished. The casket is also brass inlaid on the front, sides and back. There are 2 brass lion mask handles with ring pulls on the sides, and the casket stands on 4 hairy paw brass feet. Unusual and very stylish.

Georgian Antiques

Georgian Antiques was founded in 1978 by John Dixon's brother Padriac in a small shop at Jocks Lodge, Meadowbank in Edinburgh, with John joining the business after finishing college in 1981. The business grew so rapidly, they couldn't keep up with their inventory needs. Their goal has been to create a one-stop-shop where designers can complete an entire project from antique lighting to antique furniture to accessories. Scotland's largest antiques warehouse is located in a converted whiskey bond in historic Leith Edinburgh. With 50,000sq ft over five floors we offer a wide range of quality Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian furniture, as well as continental and small decorative items. Our stock is constantly changing.
