A faithful reproduction of the iconic King George VI post box — the GR (Georgius Rex) design that defined British postal heritage for a generation. Cast in iron with a durable steel back and finished in classic black, this is a piece of history that earns its place on any period property, country home, or characterful exterior.
Originally designed to be built into walls or gate posts with an outward-opening door for easy daily access, it also features four pre-drilled base holes for freestanding post mounting — giving you full flexibility over installation. Secure, substantial, and built to last.
Many of our customers have also repurposed theirs as a bedside cabinet or compact drinks cabinet — the solid construction and brass lock lending themselves beautifully to storing books, bottles, or personal items with a touch of vintage character.
What's Included
- Cast iron front with steel back construction
- Brass lock and keys
- Solid pressed metal 'Collection' plate and 'Private Box' tag, supplied free of charge
