19th-Century English Leather Fire Bucket with Armorial Crest
Couldn't load pickup availability
A remarkable 19th-century English fire bucket crafted in stitched leather, with brass rings for attaching a carrying handle. The bucket retains its original hand-painted armorial crest, featuring a heraldic shield flanked by lions — a decorative emblem that speaks to its historic provenance, likely tied to a civic institution or prominent family.
These leather fire buckets were once both practical and ceremonial: used by households, guilds, and municipal organizations as a first line of defense against fire, while also serving as status symbols when decorated with crests or insignias. This example shows rich age and patina throughout, with expected surface wear consistent with age and use, giving it tremendous authenticity and character.
Perfect today as a decorative accent, planter, umbrella stand, or collector’s piece celebrating English craftsmanship and social history.
Dimensions: 11.5 x 11.5 x 10
