Add a striking touch of old-world character to your space with this exceptional late-Victorian brass and copper spirit kettle paired with a hammered copper underplate. Showcasing the distinct aesthetic of the British Arts & Crafts movement, this timeless antique combination beautifully balances rustic warmth with remarkable period craftsmanship. While they carry different registration numbers and were produced a few years apart, they share the exact same hand-hammered craftsmanship and mixed-metal styling, making them a perfect visual pair for display.Key Features & Workmanship:
* Exquisite Metalwork: Both pieces feature classic, meticulous hand-hammered detailing that catches the light wonderfully.
* Mixed Metal Details: The kettle\'s warm copper body is beautifully contrasted by a brass rim, solid tripod feet, and an organic brass overhead handle modeled after twisting branches.
* Plate Dimensions: The matching hammered underplate measures 6 3/8 inches by 6 3/8 inches in diameter, providing the perfect footprint for displaying the kettle.
* Authentic Period Markings: The kettle lid is stamped with the British registration mark RD No 8496 (dating the design to circa 1884). The companion display plate features the British registration stamp RD No 412538 (dating the design pattern to circa 1903).Condition Note:
These timeless antiques are sold together as a beautiful decorative display set. Both pieces feature authentic exterior and interior wear consistent with their great age—including minor surface scratches, small dents, a rich patina, and interior calcification on the kettle. Please review all photos closely to inspect the pieces\' condition before buying.
