Large Antique Copper Laundry Tub – 28" w/ Handles, Rustic Patina, No Lid
A striking antique copper utility tub, likely from the late 19th to early 20th century, featuring a deep oval form, heavy-gauge copper body, and hand-riveted iron side handles with aged wood grips. The interior is tin-lined and bears the hallmarks of decades of domestic use, from washing garments to hauling heated water in pre-plumbing households.
Though the original lid is no longer present, this piece remains highly functional and visually compelling. The absence of the lid does not diminish its charm—in fact, it enhances its decorative flexibility. Today, it serves beautifully as a rustic planter, firewood holder, or statement storage bin in farmhouse, cottagecore, or industrial-style interiors.
Dimensions:
13.5" H x 28" W (with handles) x 13" D
Please Note: Soup for Scale in Photo
Condition:
Good condition overall, showing age-appropriate wear. Surface oxidation, scuffs, and minor dents contribute to its vintage character. The tin-lined interior is aged but intact with no breaks or holes. Handles are secure and wood grips show honest wear. Lid is not included, as shown.
