English 19th Century Massive Copper Cauldron

Offered by: Fireside Antiques

Description
Dimensions: 29 ½” H x 42 ⅜” W x 36” D

An enormous copper cauldron from England, mid to late 19th century, the metal plates riveted together and now oxidized to beautiful turquoise verdigris patina splashing the dark metal with painterly color. Likely used as a drum for washing clothing and bed linens, the industrial period is evident in the construction methods such as the folded edge at the top and studded joinery where the sheets overlap. Today, the pot could be installed as a planter in the garden or patio as there are drainage holes pierced in the base, or placed near a fireplace for a unique log holder–its aged finish will only improve with time. Please view the detailed images as they are an essential part of the description.
