FAQs

A coal purdonium is a decorative fireside storage box designed to hold coal or logs concealed within the home, popularised during the 19th century.

Victorian coal boxes were predominantly manufactured from sheet iron, tinplate, or brass, frequently finished with black japanned paint, gilt decoration, and wooden or brass carrying handles.

Authentic pieces often display slant-front drop doors, heavy cast metal or turned wood handles, original removable zinc liners, and hand-painted or stencil-gilded floral motifs typical of 19th-century metalwork.

A coal box can be positioned beside a contemporary fireplace or stove to store kindling, or repurposed in an entryway as a storage container for smaller household items.

Clean painted metal surfaces gently using a dry or slightly damp soft cloth, avoiding abrasive chemicals that might strip original paintwork, and treat brass components with a specialised non-abrasive metal polish.
