About

Decorate a kitchen island, console, garden room, or covered patio with this elegant antique French copper basin. Crafted in France circa 1880, the round vessel features a shallow circular form with gently flared sides, a hand-hammered surface, and a molded rolled rim that gives the piece both strength and sculptural presence. Originally made as a utilitarian basin, the piece has aged beautifully into a decorative object with wonderful warmth and texture.
The copper surface shows a rich, time-softened patina with warm orange, rose, bronze, and verdigris tones throughout. The interior retains natural oxidation, age marks, and surface discoloration that speak to its long history and use. In excellent condition commensurate with age and use, this antique basin would be striking filled with seasonal fruit, orchids, towels, dried hydrangeas, or used as a charming ice-filled cooler for beer and bottled drinks during summer entertaining.
Dimensions: 29″ Diameter x 7″H
