Antique Copper and Brass Log/Coal Bin, Jardiniere, Planter

The item is an Antique Copper and Brass Log/Coal Bin (or Scuttle), also commonly referred to and used as a Jardinière or Planter. The shape is Oval (near enough). It measures 17in X 14in (lxb) and internal depth is 9in. The lion's head mask handles and claw feet are highly characteristic of late 19th to early 20th-century decorative metalware. The presence of the different metals (copper and brass) adds to its decorative appeal.
