Beschrijving van de verkoper
A Highly Decorative 19th-Century Solid Bronze Wall Tap with Flange – Fully Functional
On offer is a premium and remarkably well-preserved 19th-century European wall-mounted tap (barrel/fountain spout), cast in heavy solid bronze (or high-grade brass).
This institutional-quality piece features a classic stylized lever handle and an integrated decorative wall flange. Over many decades of natural aging, the metal has acquired a magnificent, deep, and uniform dark patina, which enhances its historical character and authentic aesthetic appeal.
Designed for historical water systems, the reverse is engineered with a traditional smooth insert pipe and an integrated retaining-pin hole for secure mounting.
The object is in excellent antique condition, exhibiting a sublime original patina. Crucially, the internal valve mechanism remains fully operational: technical testing under gravity/low pressure confirms that the tap seals effectively when closed and allows a smooth flow when opened. It has not been tested under modern high-pressure mains; functionality is guaranteed for low-pressure systems or decorative use.
The top of the tap features an original, hand-stamped foundry number '6' (or '9'), a classic 19th-century maker's mark indicating the specific mold size or production series.
In accordance with its age and historical utility, there is a minor, authentic indentation on the lower rim of the spout, as clearly documented in the photographs. This minor imperfection does not affect its structural or mechanical integrity and underscores its genuine provenance. It will not be a big problem to repair this dent.
Material: Solid cast bronze / Premium heavy-weight brass
Period: 19th Century (circa 1850–1890)
Functionality: Internal valve fully operational (tested under low/gravity pressure)
Condition: Excellent antique state with original dark patina and minor signs of historical wear (small indentation on spout)
Mounting: Smooth insert pipe with retaining-pin hole and decorative backplate.
Suitability: High-end architectural salvage, premium restoration projects, or historic interior and garden design.
A gorgeous, working piece of history that is ready to steal the show in your garden, patio, or kitchen!
