Here we have a love ly antique copper, brass and lead coal bucket. It is a beautiful piece with a wonderful rustic look - I really love all of the natural wear/patination that has occurred over the years but I'm sure it would polish up lovely too if you preferred that look. This is the perfect piece to place beside the fire in a country house. It has a brazen dovetailed cramp seam which I believe dates it to pre 1900. I would think given it's style it would date to somewhere around 1880-90. It has strong nouveau handles which have three copper rivets to either side. Including handle it measures approximately 19 inches by 12 inches, excluding handles it's approximately 10.5 inches tall. This bucket weighs a little over 3kgs. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.

I use new & recycled materials to ensure that your item arrives to you safely. I pack all of my items the best I can which you will see from my feedback. However, as with fragile items there is always a risk, items such as Antiques/Collectables, glass, ceramics, paintings etc are not insured for damage by any of the postal services, with the exception of The Royal Mail. This is why I offer a choice of postage options, so you can choose your preferred postage method. Collection in person is also available on all of my items. In the unfortunate, and unlikely event that something does get damaged or goes missing with the Royal Mail then I will do my very best to assist you in making a claim. I always obtain proof of postage for all of my sent items. Sadly I cannot be held responsible for the postal services poor handling of parcels. Here are a few links regarding Royal Mails compensation policies and how to make a claim if necessary.
