Feet: Original cast paw feet (all present). Authentic late-19th-century Victorian coal hod formed from hand-worked sheet iron with applied cast iron lion head ring handles and original paw feet. Original blackened surface with expected wear.
Folded seams, riveted fittings, and asymmetrical hand-finishing-correct for the period and confirm early manufacture. The lion head masks are crisply cast with expressive facial detail, paired with hand-bent iron ring pulls. The interior shows typical coal abrasion without structural compromise.No seam failures, no modern repaint, and no replacement parts.
