This 19th-century antique French sautoir (skillet) features a beautifully hand-hammered copper body measuring 26.5 cm in diameter and 43 cm in total length including its long, hand-forged wrought iron handle. While it lacks a definitive manufacturer stamp—a common trait for coppersmith-made regional kitchenware of this era—the robust, hand-riveted "rat-tail" style split handle attachment is highly indicative of European, particularly French, blacksmithing from the 1800s. The piece shows significant signs of age and historic use, including an oxidized exterior patina, minor surface dents, and an interior tin lining that has largely worn away to expose the underlying copper and oxidized scaling. It stands as a wonderfully rustic decorative piece for a farmhouse kitchen or a prime candidate for professional re-tinning if intended for culinary use.
