General Auction including Antiques & Collectables, Gold & Silver (14% Buyers Commission)
A copper tea kettle featuring a bulbous body constructed with a central horizontal joining seam. The vessel is equipped with a curved gooseneck spout and a domed, fitted lid topped with a turned ebonised wooden finial. The handle is composed of two cast brass uprights with scrolled terminals, which support a turned wooden grip finished in black ebonising. This item is characteristic of late 19th or early 20th-century British domestic metalware. No visible maker’s marks or stamps are present on the body or handle components.
Condition report:
The kettle displays a natural aged patina with surface tarnishing and oxidation. There are minor age-related indentations, including a small dent on the upper shoulder. The ebonised finish on the wooden handle and lid finial shows wear and loss consistent with regular use.
