Elevate your hearth with this exquisite late 19th to early 20th-century English coal purdonium. Crafted from beautifully grained quarter-sawn oak, this piece features a striking hand-carved relief of a majestic oak tree with acorns on the front tilt-bin panel, a classic Victorian symbol of strength and longevity.
Unlike many antique scuttles, this piece retains its original, removable heavy-duty galvanized metal liner, making it as functional as it is decorative. The top surface serves as a convenient side table or a place to display mantel decor, while the rear features a traditional galleried "backsplash" with neoclassical molding.
Finished with a twisted brass ring pull and tapered legs, this versatile piece is perfect for storing firewood, coal, or kindling. In a modern home, it also works beautifully as a unique entryway bin or a storied side table.
