19th Century French Polished Bronze Spigot with Butterfly Handle

About the Item

Originally a spigot for a French wine barrel, this polished bronze spout has a pierced turn valve resembling a butterfly, which has been stamped with a “2” production mark. The spout, which dates to the 1800s, is also embellished with several thin rings of fluting on the horizontal pipe and geometric molding on the neck. There is an angular, yet smooth cut to the tail end of the pipe, which slightly protrudes past the rest of the tail, while the spout mouth is comprised of a thick protruding ring. Our butterfly handle spigot can be paired with an indoor or outside water feature, such as a sink or fountain.
