Charles Farlow started his famous shop in 1840, selling specialist equipment for fishing and shooting. Although no longer owned by Farlows, the famous name continues with the London flagship store in Pall Mall today.

After using his own name for the first 45 years, the firm was re-named as C. Farlow and Co. in 1885. Incorporated in 1894, the business was based at 191 Strand, London. In 1906 a second shop was opened at 10 Charles Street. The premises at 191 Strand were closed in 1913.

This smart looking fly box of C. Farlow and Co Ltd is from this short trading period. Inside is a small brass plaque embossed with the Farlow business name and both addresses of their London shops.

Available from us online, this early fly fishing tin carries a lovely black japanned finish. The interior is painted in cream and fitted with eight strips of cork to attach approximately 72 flies. There is also a clever pocket for storing fishing wire.

A collection of beautifully made flies (we think from roughly the same period) are included with this antique fly fishing case. This makes a great display item in any home interior, old and new.

Terms Of Sale

We thank you very much for shopping with Rocco Antiques. Your support is very much appreciated, it means that we can continue to offer our customers a range of beautiful antiques and collectables.

We do our very best to describe our items with an accurate and detailed description. High quality photography accompanies all our listings. Due to the restrictions of this medium it is not always possible to represent the precise size, appearance or colours of a product fully.

The used and aged nature of antiques and vintage items means that it is not always possible to describe or photograph every imperfection, blemish, dent or scratch. The vast majority of our customers will know this and not expect to receive their antique in factory new condition. The worn look is a large part of the charm of buying old pieces after all.

We try to give the best information possible in our product descriptions. If known we provide details about the age, history, style, materials and of course the provenance of a piece. However Rocco Antiques cannot guarantee any of this information, it can only be given as a guide. By appointment we can provide the opportunity to view a piece in person.

As with all internet purchases we allow our customers 14 days to return any items. Unfortunately we are not able to contribute to the cost of returning your purchase. For returns we recommend that an insured and tracked delivery service is used by the customer.

Transportation damage caused by our delivery partner must be reported within 48 hours. We will do our utmost to help with an agreeable solution for the encountered issue.
