In A Nutshell Antiques and Interiors was founded in Devon in 2014. Every piece we sell is carefully selected for its style, quality, originality and condition. We have a large workshop and pride ourselves in the quality of the pieces we sell, carrying out much of our sympathetic restoration 'in house'.
We have a large shop in the historic Dartmoor town of Ashburton in Devon where you can visit us Monday - Saturday 10am-5pm, or by appointment.

Description
A good example of an original WWI era military 'Powder Monkey' used for transporting gun powder from the ship's hold to the cannons or transporting shells on the battlefield. It has a painted canvas exterior with a leather handle and the military coat of arms on the front.
It is in very good condition for its age with a beautiful patina. There are some general marks and scuffs and some losses and old repairs here and there but nothing untoward for a piece like this and it is a very decorative item. It has been lightly cleaned and polished and displays beautifully.
