Hand-forged and riveted, each bucket bears the marks of decades of use, developing a richly weathered surface with layers of rust, mineral deposits, and patina that make every example unique.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe original perforations, an integral part of their historic function, allowed the buckets to drain as they completed their cycle. Today, these openings make them particularly well suited to decorative repurposing as planters, providing natural drainage for flowers, herbs, ferns, or trailing plants.\nThe forged iron hooks allow the buckets to be hung individually or linked together to create striking vertical arrangements, adapting easily to a variety of spaces and decorative schemes. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWhether displayed in a garden, courtyard, conservatory, or interior, they bring an authentic industrial-rustic character and a strong sculptural presence.\nNo two are exactly alike; variations in wear, patina, and surface texture are a testament to their long working lives and contribute to their unique appeal. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age.\u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 19\" high x 12¼\" wide x 11¾\" deep  \u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 48cm high x 31cm wide x 30cm deep \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chez Pluie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53691809366354,"sku":"24693","price":345.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1166\/6698\/files\/DSC06124_bf494fcd-5274-45f8-8324-eae9219f6c3b.jpg?v=1781013923","url":"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/antique-industrial-water-wheel-buckets-19-x-121-4","provider":"Chez Pluie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
