19th-Century Hand-Hammered Copper Tub with Riveted Handles — 26" Wide
This substantial 19th-century hand-hammered copper tub exemplifies the utilitarian craftsmanship of its era. Measuring 26 inches in width, it features riveted iron handles and a richly patinated surface, indicative of its age and use. Such tubs were commonly employed for domestic tasks like laundry or bathing before the advent of indoor plumbing. The hand-forged rivets and construction techniques suggest a mid to late 19th-century origin, possibly from North America or Europe. Its robust build and historical character make it a distinctive decorative piece, suitable for use as a planter, firewood holder, or rustic accent.
