Antique Polished Copper Chaudron or Wine Cooler, Wrought Iron Handle, circa 1850

About the Item

Antique copper cookware, such as this polished chaudron with wrought iron handle are highly sought-after decorative pieces due to their unique color and (typically) bright patina. handcrafted in France, circa 1850, our chaudron has a shaped wrought iron handle that rests on a thick rolled rim when not in the upright position. The handle is affixed to the cauldron by a pair of horseshoe shaped mounts, each with two rivets. When the chaudron was used for cooking, the handle would be raised and fitted onto a cremaillere (chimney hook) above the fire. Interestingly, the interior has been so delicately hammered that there are no visible motifs on the exterior. The faint chasing consists of six rings of roundels, with Vitruvian waves filling the space between the upper two tiers. Our polished French copper chaudron could be hung in the kitchen as a decorative accessory (or even used functionally as a cooking pot). It would also make a very unique wine cooler for a bar area or game room.

18th Century Repousse Decorated Copper Chaudron from France

Located in Dallas, TX

A beautiful example of a period Louis XVI chaudron, or cauldron, the copper has been decorated with a metalworking technique known as repousse, where low relief motifs are hammered from the reverse side. Many motifs from Louis XVI were inspired by ancient civilizations (Egypt, Rome, Greece, etc.), such as the mascarons and cartouches seen on the sides of this chaudron. There are two distinct mythological scenes on opposite sides, set in between a pair of twisted loop handles emanating from the mouth of a heavily bearded mascaron with a tied bow in his hair. One image depicts Pegasus rearing up as a man with a sword...
