Description

ANTIQUE FRENCH COPPER GARDEN SPRAYER, MURATORI PARIS VINE SPRAYER, PULVERISATEUR, RIVETED, BRASS PLAQUE, 34cm tall - 1900s

WILL POST - I can post this for £7 if paid for by bank transfer (Note - we only accept payment in cash on collection or by bank transfer if delivery agreed - no PayPal, card, or courier payment).

Selling our collections (hoards) of mostly French vintage items that have been acquired over many years until finally we have no room for more!

We got this from a brocante at Chepy in the Champagne region and added it to our decorative French copper garden tool collection.
It’s an antique copper Muratori sprayer, or pulverisateur, which would have been used to spray vines, gardens or crops, probably in a local vineyard.
A nice compact piece, it has a riveted design with a brass plaque and brass fittings and dates to the early 1900s.
It’s now worn but has an attractive patina and makes a great decorative gardening or wine collectible.
It’s also a superb display item, steampunk decorative, or even up-cycle to a lamp…

NOTE: Sold as a decorative collectible item - I don’t think this is working as a sprayer, the handle still pumps but doesn’t seem to produce any pressure, however it’s in good condition with staining, wear, scratches, dents and knocks consistent with it’s age and use but no damage - please examine photos carefully for condition.

This has just had a quick wash but I’m sure it would polish up well if so required.
Solid and sound with no structural damage.
The copper is thick and strong with years of wear, scratches, dents and staining - see photos.
There are brass fittings.
The brass spout is secure but twists.
The top is dented a little from use - see photos.
The pump is present and moves as it should but doesn’t produce pressure.
The bottom is worn and dented but sound.
There is an attractive brass plaque with instructions for use in French.

Approximate dimensions:
34 cm tall,
16.5 long handle to spout,
10.5 cm diameter,
weighs about 1.5 kg.
