Antique Wood & Brass Beer Pitcher

While this piece is a genuine 19th-century antique, we recommend using it primarily for decorative purposes or as a display item rather than for food and beverage service. The porous nature of antique wood and the age of the brass construction may not meet modern food-safety standards.

To preserve the integrity of the materials, avoid submerging the pitcher in water or using harsh chemical cleaners. Dust the wood gently with a soft, dry cloth and use a specialized brass polish sparingly on the metal accents, ensuring you wipe away any residue immediately.

This pitcher does not feature a lid. Given its construction of solid wood and brass, it has a substantial weight typical of 19th-century barware, making it a sturdy and stable centerpiece for a shelf or bar display.

The pitcher measures 16 inches in width and 22.5 inches in height. Please ensure your intended display area can accommodate these dimensions, as it is quite a large and prominent piece.

As an authentic antique from the 1800s, you should expect natural signs of age, such as minor wood patinas, slight brass oxidation, or historical wear marks. These characteristics are part of its provenance and confirm its status as a genuine piece of American brewing history.
