French Copper Saucepan E Dehillerin Paris Tin Lined Hammered 1606261

E Dehillerin Paris Copper Saucepan

E Dehillerin Paris copper saucepan, sourced from one of the most storied professional cookware suppliers in France. E. Dehillerin, established in 1820 on the Rue Coquilliere in Paris, has long supplied the French restaurant trade with heavy-gauge copper cookware, and this saucepan is a direct product of that tradition. The maker's stamp -- reading "E. DEHILLERIN PARIS" -- is clearly visible on the exterior wall near the handle, confirming its provenance.

The body is hand-hammered copper, approximately 3mm thick, giving it the substantial weight associated with professional French kitchen use. The exterior retains its warm copper tone with natural patina and minor surface wear consistent with age. The interior is tin-lined, as was standard practice for French copper cookware of this period; the tin shows significant darkening, oxidation and general wear across both the walls and base, with some areas of uneven surface. Small spots of exposed copper are visible through the aging tin layer, indicating the lining is in well-used vintage condition and would benefit from re-tinning before active cooking use. The handle is forged iron, riveted to the body with two copper rivets, and curves upward in the classic French style. The iron shows age-appropriate surface oxidation throughout.

The saucepan measures 18.3cm diameter x 10cm height, equivalent to approximately 7.2" x 3.9". At 3mm wall thickness, this is a notably heavy piece suited to even heat distribution.

A piece like this appeals to collectors of antique French cookware, professional kitchen enthusiasts, and those seeking display pieces for kitchen or dining decor. Dehillerin-marked copper is consistently sought after in the vintage cookware market, particularly in the US and UK.
