A brass coal scuttle of traditional helmet form, dating to the late 19th or early 20th century. The vessel features a hand-hammered finish with a dimpled texture across the exterior body and is assembled with riveted construction. It is equipped with a large, arched swing handle and a smaller fixed loop handle at the rear to assist with pouring. The scuttle is supported by a raised, circular pedestal base with concentric moulded detailing. Condition: The piece displays an aged patina with evidence of surface oxidisation, tarnishing, and spots of verdigris concentrated around the rivets and base. The interior shows heavy oxidisation and signs of historical use.
