Victorian solid brass mail slots are a great way to add grace and detail to the entryway of any home. The use of mail slots for postal deliveries first became popular in North America during the nineteenth century. Prior to this mailmen would need to wait for the door to be answered to deliver letters to homes and businesses and because of this a typical delivery route would take hours to complete. Although not every home received mail delivery at this time (especially in more rural areas of the country) the ability to deliver the mail when residents were out helped increase the efficiency of the post office and the decrease the amount of time it took to receive letters.

Victorian mail slots are a timeless addition to any home because of their beautiful and often ornate designs. The use of a mail slot allows homeowners to receive their mail directly into the home rather than in a box located at the end of the driveway and protects their letters from potential weather damage or theft. Typically found in solid brass, mail slots are available in a variety of finishes including polished brass, polished chrome, oil rubbed bronze, satin nickel, and antique brass.

Victorian mail slots are readily available online as well as in many home decorating catalogs. Search for solid brass construction and be sure to ask questions. When you work with solid brass Victorian style hardware you will find many different designs and shapes work well together nicely. These Victorian mail slots are available online through LookInTheAttic & Company and they offer free design assistance and help.
