Hailing from the same 19th-century French estate batch as its larger counterparts, this copper sauté pan (or sauteuse) is an exceptionally charming example of period French copperware.\u003cbr\u003eThe pan is fitted with a rugged, hand-forged iron handle secured by three heavy copper rivets, ending in the traditional teardrop hanging loop. A highly notable feature of this piece is the visible historic tin overspill running along the upper exterior rim. This is a marvelous testament to its working life, showing where a traditional coppersmith or kitchen servant hand-applied a fresh layer of protective tin over an open fire, leaving an authentic, tactile signature on the copper face.\u003cbr\u003eBeautifully patinated and perfectly scaled for smaller spaces, it makes a splendid, highly authentic decorative accent for a modern rustic pot rack or country kitchen.\u003cbr\u003eCondition Report \u0026amp; Safety Notice:\u003cbr\u003eIn solid, stable antique condition throughout. The copper body exhibits a few superficial dings, shallow handling dents, and a rich, uneven patina that gives it immense visual character. The interior tin lining shows substantial age-related wear, darkening, and minor historic scaling, with the aforementioned overspill visible on the front exterior rim. The heavy forged iron handle is completely rigid and structurally secure.\u003cbr\u003ePlease Note: This item is sold strictly as a decorative antique for display purposes only. Due to the age and degradation of the historic interior lining, it would require professional re-tinning before it could safely be used for modern culinary preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions \u0026amp; Weight\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Pan Diameter: Approx 7.5 inches (19 cm)\u003cbr\u003e• Pan Height: Approx 2.2 inches (5.5 cm)\u003cbr\u003e• Total Length (Including Handle): Approx 14.5 inches (37 cm)\u003cbr\u003e• Weight: 884 grams (approx. 0.88 kg \/ 1 lb 15 oz)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"A Nice Old Thing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64039118405962,"sku":"ANT-26-10-21-14-42","price":29.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/9317\/9722\/files\/IMG_9735.jpg?v=1792589927","url":"https:\/\/aniceoldthing.com\/products\/antique-19th-century-french-copper-saute-pan-tin-overspill-forged-iron-handle","provider":"A Nice Old Thing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
