A superb example of English treenware from the dawn of the 19th century (c. 1800). This "coopered" tobacco jar is crafted in the style of a traditional cask or barrel, utilizing hand-shaped oak staves secured by two broad copper bands.
The lid is beautifully turned with a pointed finial, and the overall proportions suggest it was designed for a gentleman’s library or study. Items from this period are increasingly difficult to find in such well-preserved condition without modern restoration. The rich, dark honey-tone of the oak paired with the aged copper provides a striking aesthetic for any collection of tobacciana or early English folk art.
