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)
