All auctions / Miscellaneous / Nestor Martin - Fireplace accessory - Cast iron - Antique coal scuttle


Antique cast-iron coal bin with an authentic copper scoop (often referred to as a coal scuttle, wood-coal scoop, or charbonnière). Richerly decorated with relief ornaments, Rococo motifs, or a grotesque mask shield on the lid. Often produced in the late 19th or early 20th century by Belgian and French foundries (such as the well-known Fonderies Nestor Martin), brand name present on the lid. This specimen has a clear, well-worn rust patina. Some enthusiasts specifically seek this authentic, rustic look and the original copper scoop (42 x 12.5 cm) is included. Originally intended to store coal or charcoal at a stove or fireplace, but today mainly sought as a vintage home accessory, fireplace décor, or garden object. Fully refreshed while preserving the natural patina (no through-rusting). Home delivery double packaging!
