About the Item

A robust French industrial iron vessel or trough from around 1900, showcasing the utilitarian aesthetic of the era. Constructed from heavy-gauge iron panels and joined with exposed rivets, this piece reflects the rugged craftsmanship of turn-of-the-century industrial design. With its strong lines, weathered patina, and authentic wear, it makes a striking decorative statement—ideal as a planter, firewood holder, or sculptural element in both rustic and modern spaces. Could even be an ice plunge tub or shower stall. It is finished on all sides so it can be stood on end.
