19th Century Chip Carved Wooden Coal Basket With Brass Liner - Heavily Carved.
A well carved piece from the turn of the 20th century when the resurgence in arts and crafts values was at its peak - unusually extensively carved throughout with some fine detail, as a functional object it has its scars which I’ve captured in the images, nothing that I feel detracts to much but worth mentioning - the brass liner is fully removable and sits on a plinth within, I suspect this dates further back and the wooden housing was a later addition - attractive decorative piece for the interior!
