Pan - Copper - Large skillet 10.5 kg

For sale is an absolute museum-class, one-of-a-kind piece and a legendary work of French culinary craftsmanship—the gigantic, deep copper sauté pan (sauteuse extra-forte) from the iconic Parisian brand E. Dehillerin. The vessel dates from the turn of the 19th to the 20th century (ca. 1900–1910), as evidenced by the rare early frameless signature: “DEHILLERIN / 18. RUE COQUILLIÈRE / PARIS.” This is a piece from the so-called Golden Age of French copper, designed for use in palace kitchens or elite restaurants. Impressive technical specifications (the so-called Behemoth): • Wall thickness: about 4.8 mm of solid copper (an unusually thick gauge by today’s standards!) • Weight: up to 10.5 kg • Internal diameter (stamped on the body): 36 cm (external diameter 37 cm) • Height of the body: 10 cm (capacity about 10 liters) • Overall length: 70.5 cm • Handle: forged iron, 39 cm long, attached with three heavy copper rivets. Condition: The piece is 100% original, with beautiful natural patina and traces of old hammering (hammering marks). The interior is traditionally tin-lined (tinned). The bottom is stable. An ideal capital investment for a collector of antique copper kitchen equipment (Vintage French Copper) or a unique accent for a prestigious interior."
