Antique, Large & Decorative Hand Hammered Copper and Forged Iron Firewood Bucket

About the Item

Extra large, all handcrafted and great looking copper firewood bucket. Only if you were a very wealthy person in Holland in the early 1800s, would you be able to afford this large, impressive and all-handcrafted bucket. This stunning and tactile antique would be placed on or hung over a fire and the maid would wash both your clothes and your table and bed linen. The wonderful shape and the beautiful coloring (a.k.a. patina) of the hand-hammered copper and wrought iron make this antique bucket extra attractive and decorative. This is one of the largest and most ancient looking antique buckets that we ever had the pleasure of offering. Especially the pronounced copper dovetails on the side and around the bottom make this rustic antique extra stylish and a great pleasure to look at. Because of its great look, its large size and its strength and durability this rare and large specimen from circa 1820 nowadays can be used for all kinds of purposes, both inside and outside. Close to your fireplace and completely filled with firewood it will look amazing, but filled with some of your favourate plants it could look just as marvelous in your greenhouse or garden. This particular specimen is so perfectly hand-crafted that after 200 years (!) it still is watertight. No matter where you decide to place or use this rare antique, it will lift the atmosphere of the space it is in like no modern home accessory ever could. Mind you, our fair price for this stunning antique even includes perfect packing (in a custom made box) and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days. Maximum diameter (handles included) x height (handles included): 26 x 15 inches. Height without the handles: 10.6 inches. Diameter of the opening of this large bucket: 24 inches. Weight: 14 kilogram or 30.5 pounds lbs. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again). You can shop all our 1000+ listings by pushing the button that reads 'View All From Seller'.

  • Rare Antique WMF Attr. Arts & Crafts Embossed Brass Coal Kettle /Firewood Bucket
    By WMF Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik
    Located in Lisse, NL
    Large, decorative and top quality workmanship brass, copper and bronze bucket. This one is for the connoisseurs, because it ticks all the Arts and Crafts boxes. The first owner who would have had this piece custom made or who bought it from one of the best craftsman/manufacturers in the early Arts & Crafts era (1890-1900) simply had incredibly good taste. This likely German made antique is among the best workmanship pieces that you will ever see and both design and materials wise it is most likely made by WMF (who need no further introduction). The artisan metal worker who crafted this lidded bucket took things to a whole new level, because this is a true work of art and a statement piece of unsurpassed quality, size and detail. 'Casually' on display next to a fireplace or perhaps used as a planter or other type of bucket, the first owner was communicating that money was not an object and that he was a worldly individual. Especially 125 years ago this would have been a very rare and desirable, work of art bucket that only very few people could afford. Its perfect balance, its stunning embossed Arts and Crafts floral...
