Bucket - Leather, Copper - Blouse maker, circa 1870.

This beautiful antique leather fire bucket has a stunning color and, given its age, is in very good, original condition. The bucket features a copper rim, a riveted construction, and the original leather strap. It has withstood the test of time admirably; historically, a bucket like this was filled with sand and placed beside the fireplace to extinguish any potential flames. Even today it is extremely practical, for example for storing firewood or kindling, and it adds to a charming country-house ambience. The piece is of English origin and dates from around 1870.

Dimensions: height 34 cm, top diameter 33.5 cm, bottom diameter 26 cm.
