Weighing in at an imposing 2.36 kg, this monumental 19th-century French copper saucepan is an authentic industrial-grade survivor of that high-end culinary era.\u003cbr\u003eThe sheer wall thickness of the copper indicates this pan was built for the intense, constant heat of a grand estate or hotel range. It features a beautifully extended, hand-forged iron handle secured by three heavy copper rivets and terminating in a traditional teardrop hanging loop. The exterior copper has taken on a magnificent, deep tone over the past century, displaying an immense depth of character that modern reproductions simply cannot replicate.\u003cbr\u003eIt is a true heavyweight statement piece, designed to anchor a rustic kitchen display, pot rack, or open fireplace shelf.\u003cbr\u003eCondition Report \u0026amp; Safety Notice:\u003cbr\u003eIn solid, stable antique condition with a heavy working pedigree. The copper body displays honest surface bumps, handling scratches, and a few notable historic dings to the rolled upper lip from decades of utility, all fully documented in the photography. The interior retains its historic tin lining, which exhibits heavy darkening, oxidation, and typical age wear. The heavy iron handle remains completely rigid and tight to the body.\u003cbr\u003ePlease Note: This item is sold strictly as a decorative antique for display purposes only. Due to the degradation and oxidation of the historic interior lining, it would require professional re-tinning before it could safely be used for modern cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions \u0026amp; Weight\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Pan Diameter: Approx 8 inches (20 cm)\u003cbr\u003e• Pan Height: Approx 4.3 inches (11 cm)\u003cbr\u003e• Total Length (Including Handle): Approx 16 inches (40.5 cm)\u003cbr\u003e• Weight: 2368 grams (approx. 2.36 kg \/ 5 lbs 3 oz)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"A Nice Old Thing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64039226048842,"sku":"ANT-26-10-21-14-49","price":39.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/9317\/9722\/files\/IMG_9752.jpg?v=1792590457","url":"https:\/\/aniceoldthing.com\/products\/antique-19th-century-french-copper-pan-heavyweight-2-3kg-forged-iron-handle","provider":"A Nice Old Thing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
