A rarely found original Georgian period coal, log and kindling bucket with thick brass banding, solid brass hoop handle and brass mounted handle to front.
Coopered in the same way as a barrel would be, the oak staves cut and shaped before being fitted together without glue and then bound by thick brass straps which are overlapped and riveted along one side.
A lovely piece of vernacular Georgian furniture and rather unusual to find a coal bucket or scuttle in such superb original condition after centuries of use.
