This Georgian antique coal scuttle originates from the nineteenth century and is formed from warm copper with contrasting brass hardware. The helmet-shaped body features a shaped top edge, an overhead swing handle secured by riveted brass mounts, a small rear lifting handle, and a circular pedestal base. The metal displays visible surface variation, mild tarnish, and subtle dents across the body from age and past use. The piece measures 67 cm high, 44 cm wide, and 27 cm deep. In a contemporary home, this traditional accessory sits neatly beside a living room fireplace hearth to hold fuel or function as a decorative fireside container.

FAQs

A coal scuttle, or coal hod, is a specialised metal container constructed to store and dispense coal near a fireplace, frequently produced in copper during the Georgian era for its heat resistance and longevity.

Historically, coal scuttles were shaped from sheet copper using hand-hammering techniques, featuring hand-riveted copper or brass brackets, a circular pedestal base, and a overhead loop handle for carrying.

Authentic period pieces often feature hand-riveted joints, visible hand-hammering marks, flared pedestal bases, dovetailed seams, and gradual surface oxidisation or natural patination around the handles and base.

A copper scuttle can be placed on a fireplace hearth to hold kindling, small logs, or pinecones, or repurposed as an indoor planter or entryway umbrella stand.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft dry cloth, avoid harsh chemical cleaners, and polish gently with a specialized copper cream only if a bright metallic finish is preferred over natural age patination.
