Antique Henry Loveridge Arts & Crafts Copper & Brass Tilting Kettle on Stand
A magnificent antique tilting kettle set by Henry Loveridge & Co., one of Birmingham's most celebrated metalware makers and a hallmark of quality Victorian and Arts & Crafts craftsmanship. This complete set — kettle, arched copper bail stand, and spirit burner on tray — is a rare find in any condition, let alone as a cohesive ensemble.
The beautifully proportioned copper kettle features a beaded rim detail at the lid join, ornate twisted brass S-scroll arms with turned ebonized wood handle, and a graceful gooseneck spout. The kettle pivots on the arched copper stand to pour with ease, while the spirit burner below keeps the water hot at the table — the very definition of Victorian tea service elegance.
