Description
Pair of Joseph Sankey Arts & Crafts hand beaten repousse copper Jugs (Ewer or Pitcher) a beautiful examples of British craftsmanship from the late 19th to early 20th century. Joseph Sankey & Sons, a prominent company known for its high-quality metalwork, produced this style of jug, which features distinctive repoussé designs—a metalworking technique where the design is hammered into the reverse side to create a raised image on the front. The primary material used in these jugs is copper, a popular choice due to its durability and workability. Copper also has a warm and attractive reddish tone, making it ideal for decorative objects. The copper jug is hand-beaten and hammered, giving it texture and depth. This hand-beaten finish is typical of Arts & Crafts pieces, where the texture is part of the design, emphasizing handcrafted rather than machine-made perfection. Joseph Sankey & Sons Ltd. was established in 1854 in Bilston, Staffordshire, England. The company initially specialized in the production of metal wares, such as metal trays, vases, jugs, and other decorative items, often using copper and brass. They became particularly well known for their Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts metalwork, which was characterized by organic and flowing designs. The Sankey firm expanded through the late 19th century, becoming one of the largest metalworking companies in England. This copper jug represents their mastery in producing decorative household items with intricate details. This pair have a lovely natural patination to the copper.
