Large Vintage French Preserving Bowl in Brass & Iron.

A substantial French preserving bowl with a warm golden patina, rolled rim and beautifully aged iron swing handle. Measuring 43 cm across, this characterful piece brings the rustic warmth of a French country kitchen to an island, dresser or workbench.

Details

The gently tapering bowl is framed by a broad rolled rim, with an arched iron handle secured by contrasting copper-coloured rivets. Its golden surface carries scratches, small dents and areas of darkened patina, giving the piece its individual character.

Display it alone to appreciate its sculptural shape, or fill it with dried hydrangeas or folded linen for a relaxed country interior.
