Brass Helmet Shaped Coal Scuttle with Fixed Carry Handle

This traditional brass coal scuttle is designed in a classic helmet shape, ideal for adding a rustic accent to a hearth or fireplace. The piece is constructed with a fixed overhead carry handle secured with rivets, alongside a smaller curved handle at the rear to assist with tipping.

The exterior presents a mellow aged brass tone with scattered surface tarnish, light scratching, and small dings characteristic of domestic use. The interior exhibits dark staining and oxidation, demonstrating its previous functional life. It serves as an authentic decorative piece or functional storage container beside a traditional fireplace.
