The Grands Magasins du Louvre was a major Parisian department store operating from 1855 until 1974, and copper pans bearing its oval stamp are genuinely sought after by collectors. This is a set of three graduating saucepans, each stamped with the oval mark reading \"Grands Magasins du Louvre Paris\" alongside an engraved size number, confirming their retail origin and professional-grade specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe exterior of each pan retains its warm copper tone with natural patina and surface scratches consistent with age and use. The walls measure approximately 1mm in thickness, which is standard for domestic French copper of this period rather than the heavier professional gauge. Each pan is fitted with an iron handle, riveted to the body with copper rivets — a construction method typical of French copper cookware from the late 19th to early 20th century. The interiors are tin-lined, showing the characteristic dark grey and matte surface of aged tin that has seen use. The tin lining is worn and shows oxidation and some darkening throughout, which is clearly visible in the interior shot. The pans would require re-tinning before any cooking use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three pans measure 14cm, 20cm and 22cm in diameter respectively (5.5\", 7.9\" and 8.7\"). The largest pan (22cm) carries the clearest stamp. Heights are approximately 7cm, 9cm and 10cm (2.8\", 3.5\" and 3.9\") based on visual assessment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a graduated set with a documented Parisian retail stamp, these pans are well suited to display in a kitchen or as part of a French copper cookware collection. The Grands Magasins du Louvre mark adds specific provenance interest beyond generic antique copper.\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-optimised --\u003e","brand":"Unbranded","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57785351373144,"sku":"224823954582_9568_E13F_1BCA__139","price":419.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/5776\/2392\/files\/57_48d654b0-a843-456b-b6a3-6db7825bf606.jpg?v=1784787324","url":"https:\/\/fleamarketfrance.com\/products\/french-copper-pans-set-3-tin-lined-grands-magasins-du-louvre-paris-230711","provider":"Fleamarketfrance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
