A Late 19th- to Early 20th-Century Coopered Oak & Brass-Banded Bucket

For sale is a beautifully crafted coopered oak bucket, its staves bound by two wide brass bands that lend both structural strength and an elegant decorative contrast. The wood displays a rich, warm grain with a hand-rubbed finish that has mellowed attractively over time. The bucket retains its original bent-wood swing handle, fitted cleanly into the upper staves with traditional joinery.The interior is clean and evenly worn, showing only the surface marks expected of age and honest use. The base remains tight and well-seated. Light edge wear to the rim is consistent with a century-old utilitarian piece and adds to its authentic charm. See pictures for condition and dimensions.
