The warm bronze-toned painted finish is accented by a striking verdigris-green foliate band, giving the piece the appearance of a well-aged Victorian decorative object.

Dating to the late 20th century, this handsome interpretation of a traditional harvest motif would lend weight and character to an English country entry, farmhouse kitchen, garden room, or boot room. It is decorative enough to display beside a hearth or paneled doorway while retaining its original practical purpose.
