Mid 19th Century English Antique Leather Fire Bucket Bearing the Royal Coat of Arms of Queen Victoria
Mid 19th Century English Antique Leather Fire Bucket Bearing the Royal Coat of Arms of Queen Victoria
A mid-19th century English antique leather fire bucket.
We simply love its crustiness and time-worn condition.
Bearing the Royal Coat of Arms of Queen Victoria.
These buckets were kept full of dry sand and used in case of fire.
Formed on a mould from wet leather, earlier examples were hand-stitched together, as in this example, rather than riveted.
The bucket is of tapered form. With a single leather carry handle.
Provenance - Sourced within Suffolk, England.
Condition - Please refer to the images. There is significant surface wear commensurate with age. The connecting rings that adjoin the carry-handle to the carcass have been replaced it would appear with a metal that has been found or salvaged from another item! A further detailed condition report is available upon request.
Size: Width 30 cm (12") x Height (excluding carry-handle) 40 cm (15 3/4")
