The body is heavy-gauge copper, hand-hammered into a wide, straight-sided form, with a tin-lined interior and a long wrought iron handle secured by three substantial rivets. Pieces of this weight and scale were the workhorses of French bourgeois and restaurant kitchens from the mid-nineteenth century onward, and finding one intact at this size is increasingly uncommon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe copper exterior retains its warm, darkened patina, the honest result of decades of use over a wood or gas flame. Inside, the original tin lining survives across the full cooking surface, though it shows the deep scratching and tarnish typical of a pan that actually cooked. The wrought iron handle is beautifully proportioned -- long, flat, and tapering -- with a hanging loop at the end, a classic detail of French professional ironwork. Displayed on an open kitchen shelf or a pot rack, it reads as confident and handsome; restored and re-tinned by a coppersmith, it could cook again. This is an ideal candidate for restoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age. The tin lining shows heavy surface scratching, dark staining and areas of wear throughout; restoration and re-tinning are recommended before any cooking use. The exterior copper and iron handle are structurally sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApprox. 13.4 in diameter x 3.0 in deep (34 x 7.5 cm), with walls approximately 1.2 in thick (3 mm). Weight: 4.8 kg (approximately 10.6 lb).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e95% of my items are tariff-free to the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- fmf-shopify --\u003e","brand":"Fleamarketfrance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58864272965976,"sku":"FMF-CQ8QZ9B7","price":372.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/5776\/2392\/files\/8d731e63ad81e1d7535bc69f8f40ada8.jpg?v=1792502755","url":"https:\/\/fleamarketfrance.com\/products\/antique-french-copper-saute-pan-20102624","provider":"Fleamarketfrance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
