Description from the seller
Antique French Milk Churn – 1870s
A striking large antique milk churn / dairy can, traditionally used for transporting and storing milk on European farms.

The copper surface shows beautiful traces of age, oxidation, small dents and signs of former use, giving the piece an authentic pre-loved farmhouse character.
