Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 19TH CENTURY:
Cast metal grapevine handles: popular decorative mounts from the Regency and early Victorian periods.
Hand-painted floral sprays with fine gilt tendrils: freehand work over a japanned ground.
Rolled sheet-iron body with folded edges: traditional early metal container construction.
Fitted zinc liner with wire drop handles: original inner reservoir for holding ice.
Surface flaking and oxidisation across the metal: natural ageing of early lacquer.

This Independent Date Guide was compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. It works only from the photographs shown on this page and is never told the date the dealer has declared. It is a guide, not a guarantee of age, and occasional errors can occur.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

This early nineteenth-century Regency wine-cooler takes a round, lidded ovoid form in japanned tin-ware and sheet iron, raised on an oval plinth foot. The dark red exterior carries painted floral motifs across the ribbed body, paired with a domed lid topped by a cast vine-leaf finial and twin loop handles. The surface shows wear and loss commensurate with age and medium. The piece stands 50 cm high, 60 cm wide, and 37 cm deep. Positioned on a sideboard top, this item functions practically as a wine cooler or as a vessel to display flowers within a dining room or living space.

FAQs

Pontypool japanned ware refers to decorated sheet-iron tinware produced primarily in Wales from the late seventeenth to the mid-nineteenth century, characterised by heat-cured lacquer finishes inspired by Asian lacquerwork.

These vessels were typically crafted from sheet iron or tinplate, shaped into urn or tub forms, coated with asphaltum lacquer layers, hand-painted with gilded or floral decoration, and fitted with cast metal handles and finials.

Authentic period pieces display natural age-related surface crazing, slight oxidisation to iron base metals beneath damaged lacquer, soft brushwork on hand-painted motifs, and heavy cast metal fittings rather than modern pressed alloys.

Place the lidded vessel on a sideboard, console table, or bar cart as a decorative focal piece, or remove the lid to style it as a floral vessel or dried arrangement planter.

Clean gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding water, solvents, or chemical polishes that can lift delicate paintwork or accelerate rusting of the underlying sheet metal.
