Antique Victorian Putti and Lion Head Repousse Brass Coal Scuttle with Handle

About the Item

19th century, England, a lovely quality and highly decorative Victorian coal scuttle made in brass sheet metal with an interior metal lining. The exterior is decorated in relief with putti, flowers, and cartouches, on paw feet. The movable handle is studded. A coal scuttle, sometimes spelled coalscuttle and also called a hod, "coal bucket", or "coal pail", is a bucket-like container for holding a small, intermediate supply of coal convenient to an indoor coal-fired stove or heater. Such items were commonplace in British and Irish homes and most were quite utilitarian looking. The more decorative versions, such as in this listing, were typically used in the finer homes and stately manors. Dimensions: Approx. 20"h x 11"w x 13"d (handle down) Condition: Good, some finish wear and darkening, minor dents, interior wear from use, the base with crack separations around edge, hole and wear to interior near handle. Shows well. Provenance: A Private Collection: 888 Park Avenue, NYC.
