Large Antique Brass & Oak Grain Scoop

This wonderful antique brass scoop is one of those pieces that feels full of quiet stories the moment you hold it. With its deep, hand-formed brass bowl and turned oak handle, it would once have lived in a Victorian or early 20th-century general store or farmhouse kitchen, scooping flour, oats, grains, or sugar from tall wooden barrels. You can almost imagine it being used every day, the handle warming in someone’s hand, the brass softening and mellowing over time.

We’ve given it a careful clean and a very light polish, just enough to bring back some gentle warmth while keeping every bit of its lovely natural age and patina. It still has all the honest character that makes these pieces so special.

The shape is wonderfully practical, a traditional grain scoop form, it hangs beautifully from a simple ring, ready to display in a kitchen, pantry or utility room.

Pieces like this bring such warmth to a home. They’re tactile, useful, and full of that old-world charm that makes even the most ordinary rituals feel grounding and intentional.

Likely Victorian–early 20th century (c. 1880–1920)
