Antique French Copper and Wrought Iron Poissonniere Fish Poacher, 18th Century

About the Item

Known in France as a poissonniere, this copper and wrought iron fish poacher was hand-crafted in the 1700s. Copper has very high thermal conductivity, making it a fantastic material for cooking before the advent of modern appliances. The ovate poacher would have been hung inside a fireplace by the wrought iron handle with the aid of a crémaillère. Visible dovetail seams on the ends authenticate the age of the poacher, as do the rivets that were used to affix the mounts for the handles. Whether utilized as a functional fish poacher or displayed as part of a collection of copperware, this 18th-century poissonniere would make a wonderful addition to a kitchen.

Heavy Antique French Copper Turbotiere Poacher, Maison Gaillard Paris, c.1850

Located in Dallas, TX

This heavy tin-lined French copper fish poacher, known as a turbotiere, dates to circa 1850 and was produced by the well-known factory for kitchen equipment, Maison Gaillard Paris. The turbot is a flatfish found in the Atlantic Ocean and this diamond-shaped poacher was designed to accommodate the shape of the fish, hence the name turbotiere. There is a production mark beneath the rolled rim which reads “Gaillard Maison”. A second production mark (“70”) can be seen beneath one of the large looping handles that are affixed by brass mounts with three rivets. The rivets combined with the dovetail seam on the bottom of the poacher attest to the age of production, as these were methods to assemble copper pieces prior to the late-19th century. Copper serving pieces are always in high demand, making our turbotiere poacher from Gaillard Paris a must have for a kitchen decorative...
