A rare graduated set of three antique food domes/cloches, made of iron/steel with a tin wash. These utilitarian domes were used in large households, hotels, or institutional kitchens in the late 19th to early 20th century.

• Date: circa 1880–1910 (Late Victorian / Edwardian period)

• Origin: Likely British manufacture (common for exported kitchen ironmongery of the era)

• Material: tin-washed iron (magnetic, with areas of oxidation)

• Construction details: lathe-spun bodies, rolled bead rims, and riveted handles with interior reinforcement plates — classic 19th-century workmanship.

• Sizes: large dome approx. 8.5” tall including handle; medium and small domes nest proportionately (see photos for scale).

• Condition: authentic rustic patina with expected age wear — scuffs, scratches, surface oxidation, small dings, and visible rusting around rims. Structurally solid and perfect for farmhouse or primitive décor.

• Notes: These are not pewter or silverplate — pewter does not rust. They are genuine utilitarian kitchen domes.

Why they matter: A complete, graduated set like this is increasingly hard to find. They display beautifully together for rustic décor, restaurant ambiance, or as authentic antique props.
