19th-century Copper Colander With Brass Handles And Pierced Decoration

Description :

This charming 19th-century copper colander combines a rounded silhouette with the warm tones of traditional kitchen copperware. Raised on a circular spreading foot, the bowl features a rolled rim and two brass handles secured with copper rivets. Their darker patina provides an attractive contrast to the glowing copper body.

The sides and base are pierced with small holes arranged in circular rosettes, creating a simple yet particularly decorative pattern. These details lend visual interest to an everyday utensil, while the raised foot gives the piece a balanced presence.

The surface displays scratches, small dents and variations in colour, with more pronounced marks and oxidation inside the bowl. A visible indentation affects part of the foot. These details contribute to its aged character and are illustrated in the photographs.

Now appreciated as a decorative object, this colander would bring warmth and texture to a country kitchen, an open dresser or a collection of antique culinary utensils. Its sculptural form and contrasting metals also make it an appealing accent in a more contemporary interior.
