A small antique Victorian brass bucket with lovely Arts & Crafts style character and a true utilitarian feel. The hand-riveted handle mounts, gently uneven surface and honest, functional form all echo the values of the Arts & Crafts movement, which celebrated skilled metalwork, simplicity and the beauty of handmade design.
Utilitarian brass pieces like this were everyday household items in the Victorian period, made for practical tasks rather than decoration. Today, that same simplicity and craftsmanship give them a timeless rustic charm. The bucket has age-related marks, patina and old solder around the rivets, all consistent with its working history.
Perfect as a decorative accent or styled as a rustic planter for a small houseplant, adding warmth and heritage character to any space.
