A most beautiful and rare pair of Irish Late Eighteenth early Nineteenth Century Mahogany and Brass Bound Peat Buckets in a very natural patinated original state , and not newly repolished condition . There is some shrinkage to the joined lateral planking which is held safely together by the original secure brass bands .
Of note is the unusual graduation from top to bottom of precise tapering reeding ( ribbing) with the extra adornment of one large triple reeded brass band . This is a most
unusual feature , as the norm is to be plain flat brass with untappering ribbing . Another feature , is the heavy duty brass handle with an exagerated grip to its centre.
The ribbiing ,a feature that seems to be particularly common in Ireland is unusually fine and delicate, creating a different and most elegant object of furniture, setting
these buckets apart from the hundreds of other .
Beware ....." peat buckets are probably the most reproduced item of Irish Furniture " due to their ccollectibility
Literature See Irish Furniture The Knigh of Glin and James Peill , page 257 for examples of other common style buckets .
