Antique Hand Finished Coal Scuttle, English, Copper, Brass, Fireside - Victorian

This is an antique hand finished coal scuttle. An English, copper and brass fireside store or fuel keeper, dating to the mid Victorian period, circa 1860. Wonderfully traditional scuttle with a traditional, hand beaten form that displays a desirable aged patina and in good original order. Quality copper presents warm amber hues with a light patination. Gently patinated interior presents well for the age and intended use. Rolled brass handle mounted upon club shaped backplates. Rear handle also crafted in brass, as is the base. Raised upon a plinth foot with rolled edges. Suitable for logs, kindling and all other fuel types. This is a charming antique hand-finished coal scuttle, exhibiting great colour and a traditional hearthside appeal. Unusual in the use of a brass base for extra distinction. A treat for the country house cottage fireplace, delivered ready to display. We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee with all of our antiques.
