Antique coal scuttle & copper handle shovel

Beautiful antique wooden coal scuttle / purdonium, complete with its original coal shovel featuring a decorative copper handle, stored neatly in its fitted holder at the back. Features an attractive carved floral design to the front, shaped wooden sides, period metal fittings and the original galvanised metal-lined interior. It remains in lovely unrestored condition, retaining the natural patina of the timber and age-related oxidation to the metalwork. I have deliberately left it unrefinished to preserve its character. A substantial and very decorative period fireside piece, ideal for coal, logs or kindling, or simply as an attractive antique feature. Reasonable offers considered. Can be seen in Carrigaline
