Description:Here is a great Victorian lattice “cottage” style wall pocket with 38 round brass horse collar tacks. It is also tramp or itinerant artist made in the late 1800’s and it is signed H. Renaud, Bratt.
Which based on the location where I found it must mean Brattleboro VT which is right across the Connecticut River from me and which we locally call “Bratt”. And it also has his price of $3.00 which was a pretty penny back in the day.
One great detail is the use of a repurposed yardstick for the bottom of the pocket as you can see in my pictures. Please look at all my pictures to judge color and condition for yourself. The yardstick was a giveaway from the E.E. Barbier Clothing Store in Augusta, Maine. Another neat fact is that E.E. Barbier was the protégé of E.E. Davis who first owned the Clothing Store and who happened to be the paternal grandfather of the actress Bette Davis.
This piece is in amazing shape with no breaks and all of its tacks intact. The piece measures around 31” tall x 17” wide x 3 3/4" deep at the top opening of the pocket.
Keep Coming back to see what the relicseeker has to offer. I travel all around New Hampshire, Vermont, and Northern Massachusetts scouting out places for hidden gems. I have a good eye for what people want and there are plenty of places for me to ferret out antiques and collectible from yesterday and a few gems that will become the antiques of tomorrow.
I try to take detailed pictures of my items but cannot capture every detail. I am not a collector of these items. I often get pieces in box lots with items I do collect and then sell off the other treasures I find to those who will surely appreciate them. All sales are final and "as is, as seen" unless you receive an item that was not in the pictures in this listing.
Shipping: I take great care in wrapping fragile items and have enjoyed great success. I will only ship items under 4lbs. overseas as they can go by First Class Mail as the USPS has discontinued Overseas Parcel Post.
I have been selling on for over a decade and try to be fair in all deals. I use this user ID to buy and sell hobby collectibles only because I find it an enjoyable pastime.
