Early 20th Century French Copper Backpack Crop Sprayer – Vermorel Éclair
This early 20th century French backpack sprayer was once a practical vineyard and crop tool, now a beautiful piece of rustic décor. Made by the renowned Vermorel company of Villefranche-sur-Saône, this example is marked Éclair Vermorel.
Crafted from copper with original fittings, it has a wonderfully aged patina that speaks of its agricultural past. It retains its lid and internal mesh filter, and would have been worn on the back for spraying vineyards or crops.
A striking decorative object for garden rooms, rustic interiors, or collectors of vintage agricultural equipment.
