Benham and Froud Bow Room Brass Coal Helmet C1880

19th century
Description

This unusual ANTIQUE BRASS COAL HELMET, bearing the mark of BENHAM AND SONS, WIGMORE STREET, LONDON and the ORB AND SCEPTRE MARK OF BENHAM AND FROUD, dates from circa 1880.

It is engraved BOW ROOM to the top, indicating the specific Room in which it was used in a large Country House.

It is beautifully made which, along with the elegant shape, is a sure sign of a prestigious manufacturer.

Alongside the Orb and Sceptre Mark on the base are, what appears to be, Inventory Marks from when the contents of a large Country House were itemised.

There is a good quality brass shovel which fits inside the helmet.

Both helmet and shovel are in good, usable condition.

Height to top of handle: 16 inches (40.5 cm)

Width: 11.75 inches (30 cm)

Depth (front to back of handle): 20 inches (51 cm)

FAQs

A Victorian brass coal helmet is a sloped, helmet-shaped container produced during the late nineteenth century to store and transport coal beside open fireplaces.

These fireside vessels were primarily constructed from sheet brass or copper, often featuring turned wooden or cast metal handles and copper rivets for strength.

Authentic period scuttles display hand-riveted joints, heavy gauge metal construction, natural wear to the interior base, and sometimes makers stamps or registration marks.

An antique coal helmet is placed on a fireplace hearth or alcove to hold kindling, pinecones, or rolled logs for modern wood-burning stoves.

Clean the exterior using a soft cloth and dedicated metal polish, while maintaining the interior dry and free of debris to prevent verdigris and metal corrosion.
