Large Reclaimed Antique Copper Planter with natural Patina
Large Reclaimed Antique Copper Planter with natural Patina

Large Reclaimed Antique Copper Planter with natural Patina

Located in Llanbrynmair, GB

A large reclaimed antique copper planter with a beautifully weathered surface and strong decorative presence. Circular in form and originally used as a wash tank, it has developed a rich patina with warm copper tones and areas of verdigris that give the piece depth and softness. The planter retains a visible historic patch repair and embossed gallon markings to the interior, both of which add to its character. It is not watertight, so if used indoors it should be paired with a secondary plant saucer or liner. Designer highlights • Large circular form with strong sculptural presence, lightweight yet sturdy with a folded top lip • Reclaimed antique copper with naturally developed patina • Originally a wash tank, with embossed gallon markings to the interior • Visible patch repair as part of its history • Suitable for decorative use outdoors or indoors (with appropriate liner) Finish & patina The copper surface shows a natural mix of warm brown, russet and soft green verdigris. Marking, tonal variation and the visible repair are all consistent with age and use, and form part of the planter’s naturally textured appeal. Placement A versatile decorative piece with enough presence to work in a range of interior or exterior settings. Design compatibility Its aged copper surface and simple circular form allow it to work equally well in traditional settings and more pared-back contemporary interiors, where antique patina can bring depth, warmth and contrast. It also sits naturally alongside timber, stone, brick and terracotta. Conservation & condition • Reclaimed antique piece with age-related wear • Historic patch repair visible; see photos • Surface oxidation, marks and tonal variation throughout • Not watertight; use a secondary saucer or liner indoors Provenance & sustainability Originally a wash tank, this planter has been reclaimed and repurposed for decorative use. Its reuse preserves the character of an antique utilitarian object while offering a more sustainable alternative to new production. Care & maintenance Wipe gently with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive or chemical cleaners, which may affect the existing patina. Trade notes One-off reclaimed piece. Measurements are approximate. Not watertight; if used indoors, a secondary saucer or liner is recommended. Inside height 38cm / 15″ x inner diameter 38.5cm / 15.25″ Catalog keywords Antique copper planter; reclaimed copper planter; verdigris planter...

Antique, New and Vintage Copper Furniture

From cupolas to cookware and fine art to filaments, copper metal has been used in so many ways since prehistoric times. Today, antique, new and vintage copper coffee tables, mirrors, lamps and other furniture and decor can bring a warm metallic flourish to interiors of any kind.

In years spanning 8,700 BC (the time of the first-known copper pendant) until roughly 3,700 BC, it may have been the only metal people knew how to manipulate.

Valuable deposits of copper were first extracted on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus around 4,000 BC — well before Europe’s actual Bronze Age (copper + tin = bronze). Tiny Cyprus is even credited with supplying all of Egypt and the Near East with copper for the production of sophisticated currency, weaponry, jewelry and decorative items.

In the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries, master painters such as Leonardo da Vinci, El Greco, Rembrandt and Jan Brueghel created fine works on copper. (Back then, copper-based pigments, too, were all the rage.) By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, decorative items like bas-relief plaques, trays and jewelry produced during the Art Deco, Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau periods espoused copper. These became highly valuable and collectible pieces and remain so today.

Copper’s beauty, malleability, conductivity and versatility make it perhaps the most coveted nonprecious metal in existence. In interiors, polished copper begets an understated luxuriousness, and its reflectivity casts bright, golden and earthy warmth seldom realized in brass or bronze. (Just ask Tom Dixon.)

Outdoors, its most celebrated attribute — the verdigris patina it slowly develops from exposure to oxygen and other elements — isn’t the only hue it takes. Architects often refer to shades of copper as russet, ebony, plum and even chocolate brown. And Frank Lloyd Wright, Renzo Piano and Michael Graves have each used copper in their building projects.
