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 substantial hand-crafted body features a warm, richly aged copper patina, heavy construction, robust carrying handles and an original hinged/removable lid with locking mechanism.

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.

A particularly impressive decorative object for a country kitchen, farmhouse, garden room, restaurant or rustic interior. It can also be used as a statement planter, umbrella stand or decorative vessel.
