Antique circa 1860 English Copper Coal Helmet Scuttle for Fireplaces Mantles

About the Item

We are delighted to offer for sale this lovely original hand hammered English circa 1860 copper and brass coal scuttle. This was called a helmet scuttle for obvious reasons, it looks like a Knights helmet. The body is made of hand hammered copper and the handles brass, the reason being the materials don’t absorb heat so it can in front of the fire and not get to hot to handle Condition is period, this was something that was used every day during the Victorian era right up until today, it is full of charm and patina, I guess you would class it as folk art. Dimensions Height:- 31 cm not including the handle Width:- 49 cm Depth:- 28 cm Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point. CONDITION Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description pertaining to the condition. Please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural patina in the form of creasing and wear, we recommend annual waxing to ensure no moisture is lost, also hand dyed leather is not recommended to sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as it will dry out and fade
