A good example of an antique riveted copper boiler dating from the late 19th Century. Most likely originally used as an industrial boiler or measure, it's the perfect size for a log bin or planter. It is excellent quality with a riveted seam, riveted detail around the bottom and three brass lions paw feet. It has maker's stamps on the rim for Edward Villers Wilkes.
It is in good condition with a lovely verdigris patina. There are some dinks and dents and a couple of small holes but it still displays well. The feet have been put on later but suit the piece well. It has been lightly cleaned and polished to retain its wonderful aged patina and is ready for use.
