A Victorian copper coal scuttle and shovel circa 1860.
Copper coal scuttles are traditional containers once used to store and carry coal for fireplaces and stoves. Made from durable copper, often with brass or iron handles, they combined functionality with decorative appeal. Their wide tops allowed easy scooping of coal, while angled spouts made pouring clean and efficient.
During the Victorian era, copper coal scuttles became common in homes, serving as both practical tools and elegant hearthside accents.
Today, they are valued as antique collectibles and decorative pieces, often repurposed as planters, umbrella stands, or rustic home décor, preserving their charm and craftsmanship in modern interiors.
