Description :
A charming 19th-century French copper colander, beautifully crafted with a deep rounded bowl, two substantial brass side handles and three decorative brass feet. Made as a functional kitchen utensil, this handsome piece is distinguished by its numerous drainage holes arranged in regular circular rosette patterns across both the base and sides. The combination of warm copper and golden-toned brass gives the piece a particularly attractive and decorative presence.
The copper displays the subtle irregularities, surface marks and variations in color associated with age and traditional use, creating a rich, authentic patina. The brass handles are securely attached with copper rivets, while the three raised feet give the colander an elegant silhouette as well as allowing it to stand independently. Its generous proportions make it especially appealing today as a decorative kitchen accessory, fruit bowl or centerpiece in a country, Provençal or traditional interior.
A wonderful example of antique French kitchenware, combining practicality, craftsmanship and the warm character of well-aged copper.
