Georgian Copper coal scuttle with lion paw feet

19th century copper coal scuttle 

This is an early 19th century coal scuttle.

Hand hammered in copper which has developed a fabulous patina over the years.

Copper handle with a wooden hand turned centre which is hinged and drops flat when not in use. The handle is supported with two lion mask supports on either side. The scuttle stands on four brass lion paw feet.

Made in the early 19th Century it has a superb look and would make a lovely kindling basket or planter for your plants. Circa 1830

She has seen plenty of wear and has plenty of dings in from carrying coal over the years.

The feet bent in a little from age but are perfectly sound. The lip of the scuttle has some bending.

All in all a lovely totally authentic English country house antique that will look fabulous in any room.

Measures 42 cm long x 26 cm diameter x 24 cm high approximately.
