Antique 19th Century French Copper Grape Hod C.1890

19th century
Description

A late 19th century French copper grape hod, the high sweeping rear cowl set over a tapering body with hand-punched scalloped dot tooling and riveted cast brass drop-ring handles above on a flared circular base.

Of a particularly desirable smaller size, historically used to collect and transfer grapes on French vineyards during the harvest, this hotte à vendange translates effortlessly into a fireside coal bucket, kindling store or hallway stick stand.

Very good antique condition, displaying a rich patinated copper surface with natural verdigris highlights and wear consistent with age. Structurally sound, clean and ready to place in the home.

French, circa 1890.

FAQs

A French copper grape hod is a tall, tapered metal vessel traditionally used in French vineyards during the nineteenth century to collect and transport harvested grapes from the vines to processing vats.

These hods were hand-crafted from heavy sheet copper, shaped over forms, and secured with hand-hammered copper or iron rivets. They typically featured brass or iron carrying rings attached near the rim for ease of transport.

Authentic nineteenth-century examples display signs of hand-hammering, irregular seam joinery with copper rivets, natural surface patination or subtle oxidisation, and slight asymmetry from manual production.

An antique copper hod serves as a functional umbrella stand in an entryway, a fireside container for firewood, or an oversized floor vessel for displaying dried floral arrangements.

To preserve the historic patina, dust the surface regularly with a soft cloth and avoid harsh chemical polishes. If removing green oxidisation is required, use a mild, specialized copper cleaner sparingly.
