AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A beautiful and rare matching pair (set of 2) of antique helmet-shaped coal scuttles (also known as helm pots) from the early 20th century.
These decorative fireplace inserts are made of high-quality red copper and beautifully combined with gleaming brass details. Both pieces are identical in size and design.
The sides are decorated with characteristic, detailed brass lion heads that hold the handles firmly in place. The graceful handles feature the recognizable white-and-blue Delft-style porcelain.
This pair is in notably good and solid condition. It is very exceptional for objects of this age that the porcelain in both scuttles remains completely intact: there are absolutely no cracks, hairlines, or restorations. The copper and brass show a beautiful, warm patina with minimal, age-appropriate signs of use that add to the authentic character. Ideal to use as atmospheric wood bins beside the fireplace, or as exclusive planters/jardinières in a classic or country-style interior.

Height: 33 cm
