Large French Copper Pot with Iron Hanging Handle
$695.0014"H x "W x 25.5"D
Dimensions: 14″ H x 25 1/2″ D
A massive antique copper pot, made with a forged iron hanging handle. The handles have 7-⅝” extensions that would be used to suspend the metal pot over a heat source, often an open flame. The exterior has become blackened and weathered from use. Given few people have fireplaces large enough to accommodate such a massive vessel, today, the pot could be used just outside the fireplace as a stylish place to store firewood and/or kindling. Its aged finish will only improve with time and with each log tossed in. So many applications can be found for this unique and unusual antique copper pot.

The pole has a decorative turned end that rests on a mahogany tripodal base and showing some wear from use. An elegant antique work of art.
