Beautiful antique brass ash scoop featuring a richly detailed embossed rural scene. The artwork shows a man smoking a pipe inside a rustic interior, surrounded by foliage and ornate floral decoration. The sides display pastoral countryside scenes with farmers, cattle and village houses. This type of ash scoop was commonly used in Central Europe (Germany/Austria) in the late 19th to early 20th century as a decorative tobacco or fireplace accessory. A charming collectible with lovely patina and deep relief details.
