Antique Harvest Barrel

These small oak barrels were taken into the fields by farmworkers for refreshments and usually contained cider; they were used throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. This one is in good original antique condition with no damage or repairs and a lovely patina, it is probably from the early 19th century. The folding metal handle is blacksmith forged as are the riveted bands; this gorgeous piece of nostalgia would enhance many interiors from country kitchen to chic industrial. **We only ship within the UK**
