Large Copper Tea Kettle - c. 1840

This superb copper tea kettle from the mid-19th century has a copper lid with a brass knob. The handle is made from copper and the supporting straps are brass, riveted to the kettle. The rim of the opening is trimmed with brass. There are a couple of solder points to the base and another towards the bottom of the kettle on one side, measuring approximately 5cm (2") in length. There are a few very small dents to the copper which are commensurate with this item's age but all of these faults are minor and simply add to the character and rusticity of this lovely kettle. There are no further repairs and it is in excellent condition for its year. A wonderful, stunning display piece!
