ENGLISH COPPER ANTIQUE VICTORIAN KITCHEN PRESERVES PAN by BENHAM & FROUD
This antique preserves pan was made in London by Benham & Froud and has the quality that is associated with the company. In the typical style of a UK piece, the solid bell metal handles are mounted in four places firmly fitted with copper rivets.
Other European pans being made with only three mounts to their handles.
The pan has a diameter of 17 inches and stands 6 inches to copper rim and 7 1/4 inches to handle
It has a heavy rim rolled over an iron hoop. Good rich colour to the old copper with an exceptionally good weight
Condition is good with no dents but I did notice a circular area on the inside of the pot where there is rippling effect of the copper - I considered if this might be a repair but you can’t see it on the exterior of the pot - only the interior so I think it’s more likely that it was done during manufacture - I photographed this both interior where it shows and the exterior where nothing at all shows - so make your own mind up how this rippling came about
It’s totally watertight
