Additional Description: R.A. Lister & Co Oak Planter without Legs but with Brass Bands. Round Metal Handles and Interior Tray, signed Lohler? underfoot
Era: Early 20th C
History: Coopered refers to the traditional method of making wooden vessels by fitting together vertical staves that are shaped, jointed and held in compression by iron or steel hoops without nails or glue. Practiced by coopers for centuries and was originally used for barrels, tubs, buckets, and vats for agricultural and industrial use. Aligning with Arts & Crafts and Edwardian rustic revival tastes. Oak was favored for its durability, handsome grain, and association with English craftsmanship. R.A. Lister was founded in 1867 in Dursley, Gloucestershire and a major British manufacturer best known for agricultural machinery, engines, and industrial equipment. While primarily an engineering firm, they produced robust utilitarian goods. When the marks appear on oak buckets, they typically indicate late 19th to early 20th c. Today, they are appreciated for their industrial-heritage character and crossover appeal.
