Rare Antique WMF Attr. Arts & Crafts Embossed Brass Coal Kettle /Firewood Bucket

About the Item

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 patterns, its strong and extremely stylish lid and handles and its overal design make this one of the finest antiques that money can buy. To make matters worse, it is of museum quality and condition, it has the perfect patina and it is ready for you to use and enjoy. We praise its former owners for having taken such great care and we are grateful to be able to offer it to the 1stdibs community in such great condition. Our price for this fit-for-a-museum-antique too includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days.
