ABOUT PRODUCTID 15402
This antique Victorian coal scuttle from the 19th century is an example of craftsmanship combining solid oak and embossed brass. With dimensions of 46 × 34 × 35 cm, the sturdy side panels subtly flare outwards, and the canted base tapers toward the front—a period-correct detail. The lid is dominated by a richly ornamented brass plate in a mellow gold tone, intricately decorated with foliate and scroll motifs typical of the late Victorian style. Additional brass details—ornate hinges, a floral-motif knob, and a turned handle showing authentic age patina—complete the composition. The construction features visible dovetail joints and the deep brown oak displays prominent grain beneath a light gloss. The condition is very good: all elements are original with no repairs or significant defects, only minor surface marks and gentle edge wear affirming its age. The object seems to evoke the atmosphere of Victorian parlors—spaces where function and decorative richness were in balance. The brass lid catches the light, sending subtle glimmers as if recalling the conversations around the hearth a century ago. Every line and grain in the oak speaks of a time when the fire was the heart of the home and even practical pieces were expected to tell a story of beauty in everyday life. The scuttle may be placed by a classic fireplace in a living room or library, where it will highlight interiors designed in the spirit of a 19th-century English home. It pairs well with dark wood, Danish or English antiques, and button-tufted velvet upholstery; for a more compelling effect, it can sit alongside contemporary artwork, serving as a historic accent in an eclectic arrangement. In an open space with a refined carpet and warm neutral palette, it adds subtle depth, and when combined
