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 the crusty 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. 

Provenance – Found in the South-West of England.

Condition – Please refer to the images. There is significant surface wear commensurate with age. The leather carry-handle is missing. The connecting rings for the handle remain and are attached to the carcass. A further detailed condition report is available upon request.

Size: Height 37 cm (14 1/4″)
