Before and After

There’s something undeniably captivating about the words “French”, “Antique”, and “Cookware”, isn’t there? But when you add “Copper” to the mix, you’ve unlocked the ultimate combination of beauty and functionality.

Judging from the overwhelming response to our restoration videos, we know we’re not alone in our obsession. And while over the years we’ve imported, restored, and sold hundreds of copper sautés, saucepans, braisers, and gratins; stockpots seem to inspire people the most.

And why not? They’re irresistible! Who isn’t tempted to bring one home and whip up a batch of chicken stock, or even a Bouillabaisse (much like the one we tasted in Marseilles), with some French cafe music playing in the background?

This month, we’re spotlighting a truly special piece: A stunning antique French copper stockpot, ready to transport you to a charming bistro kitchen. Join us as we unveil its history and meticulous restoration, transforming it into a showstopper ready for its next chapter.
