Antique Edwardian Industrial Mill Bin c.1910
An Edwardian vulcanised fibre textile mill bin, the deep oxblood red panels feature a solid hardwood collar rim fitted with pressed metal corner brackets, with two flush-set oval handles framed with a pressed-brass protective bezels to the sides. The piece bears the original time-worn, elaborate, distinctively Edwardian lithographic decal for The Walrus Fibre Manufacturing Company of Rochdale.
Manufactured from chemically hardened cotton cellulose, the pre-war specification is elevated by pressed brass handle trims fitted prior to First World War non-ferrous metal rationing. Its deep, upright square footprint provides a stable form particularly suited to holding logs beside a hearth.
Very good antique condition, displaying light surface scuffing and historic rubbing to the decal and walls consistent with age and commercial use. Structurally sound, clean and ready to place.
English, circa 1910.
