Absolutely stunning Mid-Victorian Copper and Brass Kindling Bucket. I believe this piece to be English made with its awesome brass Lion mask handle and Lion paw feet. The piece originally had a hammered finish which is still visible in some parts but almost 160-170 years of wear and polishing from house keepers has taken it back to a smoother finish. When you handle the piece, it feels wonderfully tactile with wear that just can not be replicated. It is a real testament to the Workmanship and quality of this piece that it is still standing proudly with Lions that look like they can pounce at any second. I have given it a very light clean and buff to bring it back to life, it still retains a beautiful patina, that has developed over the years. The bucket measures approx. 18”w x 10″d x 11″h. This will look supreme in the correct setting. The item “Stunning English Victorian Antique Copper & Brass Lion Mask Log Fire Bucket” is in sale since Monday, May 3, 2021.
