Description from the seller
No reserve price!
Large and Heavy Rustic Basin in Hammered Brass (57 cm / 5 kg) – 19th/20th Century, Late 19th or Early 20th Century (c. 1890 - 1920), antique brass (yellowish copper alloy) with thick, sturdy wall, 57 cm in total diameter (including rim).
Impressive large utilitarian basin in antique brass, entirely manufactured using traditional hammering and hand swaging techniques (tinsmith/locksmith work). An exceptionally robust piece, with thick sheet metal, totaling 5 kg of structural weight. Features a perfectly flat rim with folded finish and a body of truncated-conical shape.
On the bottom, a generous authentic seam of old-era welding stands out, made to reinforce and repair the base due to prolonged use, a detail that gives it enormous historic and ethnographic character. Preserves the dark original patina and natural oxides (matte dark patina). Ideal piece for rustic high decor (as a planter, linen chest/holder, or charming washbasin).
Shows natural wear, small dents and expected abrasion marks typical of a centennial utilitarian piece. No active holes. Very solid and sturdy structure.
Seller's Story
Antiques are my enormous passion; all the items I have up for auction were found at antique fairs and from antique dealers mainly in the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original and obviously beautiful. Quality guarantee and very careful shipping of the pieces.
ATTENTION: If you are interested in one of my pieces that has a reserve price, please note that I will absolutely not offer it for less than 80% of the reserve value of the piece. And I should also note that if that piece is not sold here on Catawiki, I will sell it at another auction house, so if you’re really interested in any of my pieces, buy it when you see it the first time.
Thank you very much
