Know before you buy
While these pieces were originally functional kitchenware, they are primarily recommended for decorative display due to their age and the nature of their antique patina. If you choose to use them for serving, we recommend a thorough, gentle cleaning and ensuring the bronze is appropriate for your specific culinary needs.
To preserve the natural patina that gives these pieces their historical character, avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scrubbing. A simple wipe with a soft, dry cloth is usually sufficient to remove dust and maintain the integrity of the antique surface.
Yes, this set includes three individual bronze ladles. Because each piece is an authentic 18th-century artifact, you may notice slight variations in the patina and wear, which is expected and adds to their unique historical charm.
Each ladle in this set measures 17.5 inches in total length with a bowl width of 3 inches. These proportions are consistent with traditional soup ladles from the Normandy region during the 1700s.
These ladles are sourced as genuine artifacts from Normandy, France, dating back to approximately 1700. Their authenticity is reflected in the specific composition of the bronze and the distinct, natural patina that only develops over several centuries of aging.
