Description from the seller
Early 19th century hand-forged copper bucket with brass handle
High-end quality – In excellent condition – No reserve.
A substantial and beautifully hand-forged copper bucket dating from the first half of the 19th century, distinguished by its elegant, slightly flared form and its richly patinated surface. The warm, aged copper body is complemented by a heavy brass swing handle with pronounced hand-cut tool marks, giving the piece a strong sculptural and artisanal presence.
The surface displays an authentic, naturally developed patina in deep copper and golden tones, testifying to its age and traditional craftsmanship. The bucket is solidly constructed from thick copper sheet, with visible hand-raised hammer marks and a robust riveted brass handle assembly. Its weight and proportions clearly reflect high-end quality, made for durability rather than decoration alone.
In the first half of the 19th century, copper vessels of this type were commonly produced by specialised metalworkers for domestic and agricultural use.
Buckets like this were used in kitchens, dairies, and gardens, valued for copper’s hygienic properties and long lifespan. Today, such utilitarian objects are appreciated as decorative interior or garden pieces, admired for their honest materials, craftsmanship, and timeless form.
Dimensions (approx.)
Height: 27 cm
Height incl. handle: 47 cm
Diameter: 39 cm
Weight: 3.5 kg
In excellent aged condition. No dents. The bucket retains its original patina with light surface wear consistent with age and use. Structurally sound and visually very strong. Please refer to the photographs for a detailed and accurate impression.
An impressive and characterful antique copper piece that works equally well as a planter, log holder, or decorative statement object in a classic or contemporary interior, as well as in a garden setting.
The item will be carefully and professionally packaged and shipped by registered mail.
