Know before you buy
This piece is sold as a decorative vintage item. While it retains its original construction, we recommend using it as a wall hanging or shelf accent rather than for food preparation.
To preserve the aged character of the copper, simply dust it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh metal polishes or abrasive cleaners, as these will strip away the authentic patina that gives the piece its vintage appeal.
No, the pan does not include mounting hardware. Because of its weight and the sturdy riveted handle, we recommend using a heavy-duty hook or a dedicated pot rack bracket to ensure it is displayed securely.
The pan measures 18.5 inches in diameter, including the handle, and stands 4.5 inches high. Please ensure your shelving or wall space can accommodate this width before purchasing.
As an authentic 19th-century artifact, the pan features natural wear consistent with its history. These imperfections, such as variations in the copper finish, are part of its charm and confirm its status as a genuine antique.
