A Near Pair of Antique Peat Buckets

19th century

Sold by The Antique Partnership

Description

A near pair of antique peat buckets. The same in every respect save for the fact that one is in mahogany and the other oak. The fittings, bands and handles are all exactly the same as are the dimensions.Solid and heavy brass hand made handles. Deep brass bands secured with copper rivets and brass screws. Matching zink solder jointed inner containers. It would appear these have never contained coal and may have been used for carrying ice from the ice house to the main house....whatever they were used for they are a very handsome pair. Over the years the coopered joints have become loose but both are still very functional. The bases are intact.

Each 31 cm in diameter and 30 cm high.
