About the Item
Antique Henry Maxwell Boot Jack.
A good quality boot jack made by Maxwell's of Dover Street, London. This fine boot jack is made of mahogany and bears the brass maker's plaque. The boot jack with well-turned side supports a large foot plate and fitted with a hand swivel toe rest. This type of boot jack is the Rolls Royce of boot jacks. The rug foot plate is a later addition.
Henry Maxwell Limited was founded in 1750, in Worcester, initially being a spur maker. 1814 saw the invention of the 'Spur Box' by Henry Maxwell Jnr., transforming the experience of wearing spurs with the design eventually being adopted by every European army. By the early 19th century Maxwell was awarded the first of its many Royal Warrants by King George IV and patented an improved spur box in 1828.
