Good example of a large antique riveted copper boiler dating from the late 19th Century. Most likely originally used as an industrial boiler or measure, it is the perfect size for a log bin or planter. Excellent quality with a riveted seam and riveted detail around the bottom.
It is in good original condition and there are no major damages, splits or holes. There have been a couple of drainage holes drilled in the bottom at some point so it is not water tight. There are some minor dinks and dents but nothing detrimental. It has retained its wonderful original verdigris patina and has been very lightly cleaned to preserve this patina.
