Antique Aesthetic Movement English RUM Spirits Barrel Pub / Bar RARE

$429.00

Brand Royal Staffordshire

Attributable to E. Coaney & Co. Birmingham England (late 1800s-early 1900s) this antique Barrel Keg Dispenser is absolutely stunning.

This fantastic spirits barrel dates to the Aesthetic Movement. It features a Kingfisher flying over a pond filled with flowering aquatic plants on the front. The word RUM is barely visible as it has been worn away with time. It makes for a beautiful large floral container, pub decor etc. comes with original brass tap

This is as large as any of the antiques spirits barrels I've had the pleasure of buying and selling.

It would be perfect converted into a lamp or used as display
These are relatively hard to come by as many didn't survive over the years.
