The patina on this fabulous Victorian Royal Navy Rum or Grog Ration Serving Tub or Barrel is incredible.

Made from solid oak with brass coopered rings and letters with the toast “THE QUEEN, GOD BLESS HER” to the front. It has a lower fitted brass drip tray and circular lid with a brass acorn finial and decorative star. Naturally, it has a few imperfections and plenty of signs of use commensurate with its age and overall, it measures 43cm high with a lower diameter of 39cm tapering upwards to 30cm.

I’ve two or three of these in stock but this has to be the oldest, circa 1880-90 and possibly the smallest.
