Full Description
This impressive 19th-century oak and brass cider jug stick stand is a rare and characterful piece of English rural heritage. Originally crafted as a large cider jug, it has been expertly coopered from solid oak staves and secured with original brass bands, reflecting the skill and precision of Victorian-era coopers.
The jug is enriched with beautifully aged copper and brass elements, including a wide copper spout and an elegant decorative brass handle. These details elevate the piece from purely utilitarian origins into something sculptural and visually compelling. Its generous proportions make it perfectly suited today as a floor-standing umbrella, walking stick, or cane stand.
The oak surface displays a deep, honest patina developed over more than a century of use, with subtle tonal variation, wear, and surface character that cannot be replicated. It stands equally well as a functional hallway piece or as a standalone decorative object, lending authenticity and warmth to country homes, period properties, or vintage-inspired interiors.
Both practical and evocative, this cider jug is a true conversation piece — a tangible link to 19th-century rural life, craftsmanship, and tradition.
