Rare Georgian Brass Banded Coal Bucket C. 1750

18th century
Description

A rarely found original Georgian period coal, log and kindling bucket with thick brass banding, solid brass hoop handle and brass mounted handle to front.

.

Like everything made by the Georgians this was made to last and is already 275 years old.

.

It has been used regularly for most of its life and yet is still in excellent and entirely usable condition.

Coopered in the same way as a barrel would be, the oak staves cut and shaped before being fitted together without glue and then bound by thick brass straps which are overlapped and riveted along one side.

.

A lovely piece of vernacular Georgian furniture and rather unusual to find a coal bucket or scuttle in such superb original condition after centuries of use.

.

.

Dimensions are:

.

17 inches high to top of handle when raised, 12 inches high to top of oak lip, 15.5 inches wide and 12 inches deep side to side (all maximum)

Declaration

Webberley Antiques has dated this Georgian Brass Coal Scuttle to the 18th Century.

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.

FAQs

Originating in 18th-century Britain, a brass-bound coal bucket or scuttle was constructed to hold coal or peat near open hearths. These functional hearthside vessels were crafted using traditional coopering techniques and fitted with metal bands to withstand heat and weight.

Eighteenth-century coal buckets were primarily made from dense hardwoods such as oak or mahogany using stave construction. Heavy-gauge brass or copper bands were secured around the wooden body with metal rivets to provide structural integrity near fireplace heat.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-riveted brass bands, hand-forged handle mountings, and evidence of historic wear or charring on the interior timber. The timber staves typically display natural shrinkage, authentic age patina, and hand-shaped joinery.

A Georgian coal scuttle functions as a log or kindling holder beside a modern stove or traditional fireplace. It can also be repurposed as an umbrella stand in an entryway or as a planter in a living area.

Dust the wooden staves regularly with a dry cloth and apply a neutral beeswax polish annually to preserve the timber. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners on the brass bands to retain the historic surface finish and store away from excessive moisture.
