This Antique Carved English Oak Coal Scuttle is a remarkable example of early 19th-century English craftsmanship, dating to around 1820. The carved front panel showcases an intricately detailed foliate design, with the central focus being a bold lion’s head—a symbol of strength and protection. The scrolled edges and gracefully arched handle contribute to its stately and elegant appearance.
The scuttle retains its original metal liner, which is still in good condition and functional for storing coal or kindling. A matching antique shovel is included, making it as practical as it is decorative. The oak’s rich, deep patina enhances the three-dimensional effect of the carvings, emphasizing the skill and artistry of the woodwork.
While there are minor scuffs along the edges consistent with its age, the piece is structurally solid, and the carvings remain sharp and impressive. This coal scuttle serves as a stunning decorative accent for any fireplace, evoking the timeless beauty of English Regency design. 17h x 14w x 20d
