Item Description
A mid 19th century English Victorian leather fire bucket with later handle and worn red paint finish to the exterior.
During the Victorian era, a leather fire bucket such as this one was an essential piece of equipment for an open fire, ready to carry water to extinguish fires should a blaze occur! This antique leather fire bucket perhaps once graced the halls of a large English country house, safely on hand should its need arise…
Following the modernisation of fire brigades in the 20th century, leather water carrying buckets were no longer required, making this an interesting piece of 19th century English history for your home. Display as a collector’s item or use as an unusual storage basket.
