In entirely original condition and of good size, the wonderfully well and boldly stitched vellum bucket of beautiful cigar colour showing a wonderful patina and one side of large diagonal stitches to a collared rim and to a stitched bottom, surviving from the second quarter of the nineteenth century.
Unknown.
These vellum buckets were made mainly in the first half of the nineteenth century and usually used in cotton factories.
Not only still useful today but a wonderful statement piece of folk art and of super colour, smell and texture.
The bucket is in entirely untouched condition with no restoration or repair. There is some expected misshapenness as photographed.
By appointment only.
