AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Purdonio in the Art & Craft style dating from the late 19th to 1900, crafted from solid oak with an original iron interior. This functional yet decorative piece, designed to store coal beside the fireplace, reflects the artisanal aesthetics of the Art & Craft movement, with clean, understated lines, well-balanced proportions, and honest construction details.
The slanted front features a decorative panel with a moulding and a brass handle, while the top lid is finished with a wooden handle supported by brass fittings, which allow for elegant transport. The curved sides and the aged oak finish provide visual warmth and authenticity, showing the noble wear of decades of domestic use.
The interior preserves its original iron lining, designed to withstand the heat and weight of coal, which reinforces its value as a historical piece. This purdonio is ideal for period settings, rustic decoration, or the collection of utilitarian furniture with character.
Origin: England, circa 1880
Materials: solid oak, iron, brass
Condition: well-preserved, with natural patina and intact structure
Use: decorative, functional, collectible
Certified shipping and good packaging.
