A lovely premium copper preserves pan from the Victorian period. Dates from the mid 19th century. Attractive brass carrying handles to each side. Manufactured by the well known firm of Benham and Froud of London.
It has a nice warm copper colour and is VERY LARGE at 17 in diameter rim to rim and not 16 as stamped to one of the handle stays which could well be the volume measurement and the height is. It is in excellent condition considering the age having been made around 1870 and having escaped any damage albeit for some tiny dinks. All in all a wonderful pan to own and ready for another 150 years of useful service!
Is complimented by strongly made brass handles attached with double rivet positions on each side of the handle. Please note the shape of the handles and rivet positions. The edges where the rivets are attached are notched in a particular waythis is the typical design of BENHAM AND FROUD. And the quality is immediately apparent from the thickness of its walls and base. It has two solid brass handles, rather than the usual cast iron ones found on lesser pans, and they are attached with 4 copper rivets. The Benham & Froud cross & orb mark can be seen on the base of the identical one shown in the last photograph.
The cross and orb mark cannot be found on the pan in this listing. An impressive addition to any copper collection.
In the typical style of a UK piece, the solid bell metal handles are mounted in four places firmly fitted with copper rivets. There is a number 16 marked on the handles. These pans have many uses and look great with flowers or filled with ice for bottles.
MEASUREMENTS : 17 diameter excluding the handles x 5 to top of rim. Overall diameter including the handles: 23 approx.
