Superb antique set consisting of a bucket with a lid and a matching jug in enameled sheet metal, decorated with delicate pansy motifs.
These authentic pieces, typical of the early 20th century, bear witness to the artisanal expertise of the time, when enameled sheet metal was prized for its robustness, ease of maintenance, and refined aesthetics.
The enamel bucket, with its original lid, was once used as a toilet bucket or water bucket, essential in bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchens of yesteryear.
The slender jug was used for washing or as a water pitcher. Together, they formed a functional duo, combining utility and elegance.
Today, this beautiful ensemble seduces above all for its decorative charm.
The pansy decoration, a symbol of softness and romanticism, adds a touch of poetry and color that immediately catches the eye.
In a chic country-style setting, a flea market, or a country house, it becomes a real visual highlight.
