04/09/20 - An Important Update Regarding Coronavirus (Covid-19) 4th September 2020

Holt Antique Furniture Ltd and its related Companies would like to update you on what's happening at our antiques store “Holt Antiques at Walsingham Mill” with the continued threat of Coronavirus (Covid-19).

Dear Customers...

As you are probably aware, the Coronavirus outbreak has caused unprecedented turmoil to the retail shop / High Street sector since 23rd March 2020 with all non-essential shops being forced to close. The UK Government took the decision to allow this sector which, includes Antiques Stores, to re-open from 15th June 2020, but only if we are able to meet specified criteria set out in the "COVID 19 HEALTH & SAFETY GUIDELINES". 
 
We must act responsibly during this challenging period, to ensure that the safety and wellbeing of both our staff and customers continues.

With the above in mind, we have had to make the difficult decision to keep our store at Walsingham closed for the time being to the general public. This situation will again be reviewed at the end of September 2020.

MUCH OF OUR STOCK IS AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE VIA OUR WEBSITE (WITH NEW STOCK ADDED WEEKLY) where we are committed to maintaining our outstanding level of service. Please see:

The Management Team at Holt Antiques would like to thank every one of you for your continued support during this time.

19th Century English Antique Leather Blackjack Drinking Tankard, Circa 1860-80

Information

We love Engish antique leather blackjacks and always buy period ones when they come up for sale.  Yes, they are always expensive to buy but worth every penny in our opinion and they are always on our "must have" list when they appear!

This fine jack is later 19th Century, circa 1860-1880.

Blackjacks are a very English tradition and were used as tankards.  Larger vessels/jugs also exist and are known as "bombards".

Formed on a mould from wet leather, earlier examples were then hand stitched together.  This example shows mechanised stitching indicating a later 19thC date.

These vessels were lined with bitumen (as in this example) or had tin liners.

This jack has lovely wear and patination to the outer surface and displays very well.

Condition - as per images.

We ship worldwide!
