10 Easy Pieces: Mail Slots

March 9, 2018

Handwritten letters may be an endangered species but a slim, elegant mail slot (or maybe you say “letter plate?”) will always be a stylish accessory for the well-dressed front door.

We’re rounded up 10 of our favorite mail slots—from classic styles to sleek, modern lozenges—in a variety of finishes for your consideration. Junk mailers, take note: If your bulky catalogs don’t fit through the door, it’s no accident.

A Grove Letter Plate is available in two finishes, bright nickel and matte brass (see the top photo for another view of it). Measuring 30 centimeters long (approximately \1\1.8 inches), it is £58 from Rowen & Wren.
