A fabulous bee skep sourced from France. The woodworms did a great job. But the wooden frame has been treated and varnished. Everything else left in untouched to preserve its story and patina. Size: 19 – width.

This is very rare to have a double beehive shaped preserve pots with bee finials on a twig shaped stand. The bee finials are brass and the only damage to the glass is a few very small nibbles to the left pot where the spoon sits. The right pot has no damage. The stand on each pot should have 4 leaves as holders on each side but, only have 3 each intact. Minor damage considering the age and rarity.

Victorian antique Flatback Arbour Group with Beekeepers hive or skep. Uncommon and charming Victorian Staffordshire flatback group with a couple in a garden setting under an arbour, the man holding fruit and the lady decked with a garland of flowers across her shoulder. Between which a beehive skep with flying bees around it. Before and in early Victorian times, bees were housed in upturned straw baskets called skeps. The shape was conducive to the formation of the honeycomb. The downside was that turning the skep over to collect the honey killed the bees or made them homeless, and so the beekeeper had to hunt down a new wild swarm and start from scratch. Height 20 cms high approx.
