We kindly suggest you read the whole description, because with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects.
The container has been realized in the first years of 1700 in Villedieu-les-Poeles city of Normandy (France) famous since the antiquity for the excellent production of copper; for our container has been used copper of optimal quality, hammered then to hand with great handicraft ability, the solid handles are joined to the edge by strong rivets, the used copper is of excellent quality, its thickness is very high and makes the object solid and robust (weight 9 Kg.!), the appearance is imposing almost medieval ( to understand the actual size of the object and its great functionality, look well at the two photos set with the chair). But the thing that makes the container even more interesting and attractive is the striking repair in the lower part: in the tradition of a simple conception of the rural economy, according to which nothing had to be thrown away but to be recovered, on the container a copper plate fixed with hammered rivets was roughly applied so that the functionality of the object could last many years more. Over time, hammered copper has grown a marvelous patina that together with a timeless design makes this rare and great object of 1700 attractive and highly decorative, regardless of where it will be placed will enrich the atmosphere of the space in which you find it. Measures D.cm.43, H.cm.50. For all our shipments we use special packaging materials (wooden crates, styrofoam, etc.) for maximum protection and safety of the objects.
