Live auction will start in __ days and __ hours

Start price: £3

Estimated price: £3 - £5

Buyer's Premium: 20%

A pair of late Victorian cast iron rain drain hoppers, each of heavy-gauge industrial construction. The hoppers feature an octagonal form with tiered, stepped plinth-style bases and tapering necks. One hopper (left) is more complete, featuring a cylindrical upper neck integrated with two circular eyelet lugs, likely intended for securing to a wall or for structural railing supports. The second hopper (right) displays an angled or corner-profile base tapering to a central circular aperture. Both pieces exhibit a heavy industrial aesthetic consistent with municipal or residential ironwork from the late 19th century. There are no visible maker’s marks or foundry stamps on the exterior surfaces of either casting.
