A truly characterful antique French copper pan with an exceptionally long 103cm handle, stamped Villedieu Delalande and believed to date from over 100 years ago.

This remarkable piece is a wonderful example of traditional French open-fire cookware, with its extra-long handle historically allowing the cook to tend food over an open hearth while keeping a safer distance from the flames. Today, its scale, warm copper colour and beautifully aged character make it particularly appealing as decorative French kitchenalia, a collector's piece or statement wall display.

The pan has a traditional copper body with an aged tin-lined interior and a rustic metal handle. Its impressive proportions make it a particularly striking piece for a French farmhouse kitchen, fireplace, country house, boot room, restaurant-style interior or collected vintage wall display.

Stamped Villedieu Delalande, it has exactly the sort of authentic, time-worn character that makes antique French brocante pieces so appealing.

Condition & authenticity

This is an authentic antique French copper pan with substantial signs of age and previous use, including natural oxidation, surface marks, wear and patina to the copper and age-related wear to the tin lining. These features are an important part of its history and antique character.

The tin lining is aged and worn and, due to its condition and the age of the piece, this pan is offered primarily as a decorative, collector's or historical display item rather than for modern everyday cooking. Please study the photographs carefully, as they form part of the description.
