Object Description
A Very Good Quality Late 18th Century Mahogany
And Brass Bound Plate Bucket Having Original
Pivoting Brass Handle
(This bucket would originally have been made to stand
in the dining room and house a pile of plates, hence
hole cut out of one side, so as to allow a hand to be
placed under the plates and lift them out. The brass
bound decoration serves two purposes, one of course
for decoration, but secondly and just as importantly they
are holding together the pieces of mahogany which form
the bucket.)
