18th Century Continental European Hammered Copper Wine Cistern
About the Item
A scarce Continental hammered copper wine cistern dating to the 18th century, with beautifully aged verdigris patina!
The European antique having gadrooned lobed body with decorative pressed foliate accents, sloped rim, circular base.
Wine cisterns were found in Europe beginning around the 17th century, commonly used by vineyards and winery's, while the period of their greatest utilization was the 18th century. In spite of its large size and precious material, this wine cistern probably would have been placed on the floor or tabletop where, filled with water, it served to keep bottles of white wine cool until needed at table.
Early precursor to the modern wine chiller, bottle cooler or ice bucket.
In today's contemporary interiors it would serve well as a functional firewood holder - log bin - scuttle fireplace accessory - jardiniere - cache pot - patio planter - outdoor flower box - garden ornament, and more!
Dimensions: (approx)
6.5" high, 15.5" wide, 15.5" Deep, 3.25lbs
