Antique One-Of-A-Kind Hard To Find

Sylvie found this copper poissonière in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, and it’s a beauty. A 19th-century French fish kettle, it was built long and oval to hold a whole trout or salmon, complete with a fitted lid. The copper exterior gleams from a recent cleaning  but you can still see patina from years of use.  Sylvie imagines it now as a centerpiece in kitchen decor, its history visible in every dent and rivet.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.

Dear Collector, the exterior of this piece has been restored by a copper dealer in France, but some patina still remains. The interior would need to be re-tinned for actual use.
